  • Applications

    Pentadecanoic acid monoglyceride can function as an emulsifier and surfactant in food processing and cosmetics/personal care, aiding oil–water dispersion and stabilizing emulsions; it may be used as a processing aid and stabilizer in polymer formulations, coatings, and inks. It can act as a plasticizer or lubricating agent in plastics processing, improving workability and texture of polymer systems. In pharmaceuticals, it may serve as an excipient and a lipid-based solubilizer for lipid formulations. It may also be used in cleaning products and household formulations as a surfactant/emulsifier, and as a processing aid in coatings and paints.
