Glyceryl diisostearate

Glyceryl diisostearate (CAS 68958-48-5 ) is a diester of glycerin and isostearic acid used as an emulsifier and skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic and industrial formulations. Its branched fatty acid structure resists crystallization, making it suitable for stable, clear, or anhydrous systems. This chemical is ideal for applications where conventional esters would typically solidify or phase-separate. In personal care, it functions as an emulsifier and moisturizing agent in lip products, color cosmetics, and skin creams. It is particularly effective in anhydrous or low-water formulations where texture and spreadability are critical. Coatings and adhesive formulators use it as a plasticizing emulsifier to improve substrate wetting and film flexibility. In lubricant applications, it serves as a base or additive component where a non-crystallizing, branched-chain ester profile is required for low-temperature performance. This ensures stability across various thermal environments. Industrial sealant and elastomer systems incorporate it to aid dispersion of pigments and fillers. This versatility makes it a valuable component in complex chemical manufacturing and material science applications. Glyceryl diisostearate is supplied as a viscous liquid or semi-liquid at ambient temperature. It is available primarily in cosmetic and technical grades, with cosmetic-grade material typically meeting high purity and color specifications. The material is manufactured to meet rigorous industry requirements relevant to personal care manufacturing. Packaging ranges from drums to intermediate bulk containers depending on specific volume and logistics requirements. Contact us for supply of Glyceryl diisostearate Request Quote
