Polyglyceryl-4 caprate

Polyglyceryl-4 Caprate (CAS 160391-93-5 ), also marketed as Tegosoft PC 41 and known in formulation as Tetraglycerol Monocaprate, is a mild, plant-derived emulsifier and wetting agent used across personal care, food, and industrial applications. Derived from capric acid and tetraglycerol, it enables stable oil-in-water emulsions and improves surface wetting in formulations where skin compatibility and clean-label positioning are priorities for manufacturers. In personal care, it functions as a primary or co-emulsifier in lightweight lotions, cleansers, and leave-on skin formulations where low irritation potential supports sensitive-skin positioning for various brands. Food manufacturers use it to stabilize emulsions and improve texture in fat-based systems, benefiting from its compatibility with natural and organic labeling requirements across global markets today. In coatings and adhesive systems, it acts as a dispersing and wetting agent to improve substrate adhesion and pigment distribution. It also supports humectancy in leave-on cosmetic formats for moisture. This chemical helps retain moisture in the finished product while maintaining a high level of stability. It is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid for easy integration into liquid production lines. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly available, with material often meeting FCC and EU cosmetic regulatory requirements. Packaging typically ranges from drums to IBC containers. These industrial volumes ensure a steady supply for large-scale manufacturing needs. The versatility of the compound makes it a staple for formulators seeking high-performance, plant-based surfactant solutions. Contact us for supply of Polyglyceryl-4 caprate Request Quote
