Description

Diglycerol (CAS 627-82-7 ) is a polyol derived from glycerol dimerization, offering higher molecular weight and lower hygroscopicity than glycerol itself. It functions as a humectant, emulsifier, and plasticizer across food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and polymer applications. In personal care formulations, this chemical acts as a humectant and co-solvent in skin creams, serums, and hair conditioners. It helps retain moisture without the heavy feel associated with glycerol, making it ideal for high-end cosmetic products. Food manufacturers use it as an emulsifier and carrier for flavors, fats, and fat-soluble ingredients in processed foods and confectionery. It provides excellent stability and texture enhancement in various food-grade applications. Pharmaceutical formulators incorporate it as a solvent and carrier in topical and oral preparations where controlled viscosity is required. It is highly valued for its skin compatibility and consistent performance in medical formulations. In plastics and polymer processing, it functions as a plasticizer and softening agent, improving flexibility in bio-based and conventional polymer systems. This versatility makes it a key component in modern material science. The product is supplied as a clear to pale yellow viscous liquid. It is available in food-grade and technical-grade specifications, with food-grade material typically meeting purity standards suitable for regulated use. Quality standards ensure the material is suitable for use in sensitive food and cosmetic applications. Packaging ranges from drums to IBC containers depending on order volume, ensuring flexible logistics for global industrial clients. Contact us for supply of Diglycerol Request Quote
