Glyceryl dibehenate
Description
Glyceryl dibehenate (CAS 99880-64-5 ) is a diester of glycerin and behenic acid used as a lipid-based functional ingredient across personal care, food, and industrial formulations. It acts primarily as an emulsifier and rheology modifier, helping to stabilize emulsions, control texture, and adjust the flow behavior of finished products in various applications. In cosmetic formulations including creams, lotions, and lip products, it provides emulsification and contributes a smooth, waxy skin feel that supports moisturizing performance. Food manufacturers use it as a structuring agent in fat-based systems such as coatings, fillings, and confectionery, where it controls crystallization and improves texture consistency. In pharmaceutical solid dosage forms, it functions as a lubricant and controlled-release matrix component in tablet and capsule production for precise delivery systems. Coatings and adhesive formulators incorporate it to modify viscosity and improve substrate adhesion in wax-based systems, ensuring high performance in industrial settings. Glyceryl dibehenate is commercially available as a white to off-white waxy solid, supplied in flake, bead, or powder form depending on the specific manufacturer requirements. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are common, with pharmaceutical-grade material available under compendial standards including NF and Ph. Eur. for global compliance.
