Cosmetic Grade Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricaprate CAS 68130-52-9/68956-08-1
Products Description
- Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricaprate is an ester compound, mainly used in cosmetics, personal care products and food industries. It is an ester formed by the reaction of trimethylolpropane (Trimethylolpropane) with caprylic acid (Caprylic Acid) and capric acid (Capric Acid).
- Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricaprate has good solubility in a variety of organic solvents, such as being able to dissolve well in mineral oil, vegetable oil and many common organic solvents (such as ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, etc.). Its solubility in oil substances enables it to mix well with other oily components and play a synergistic role in formulations. Its solubility in water is low, but this characteristic also makes it applicable to some systems that mainly require an oil phase.
- Trimethylolpropane tricaprylate/tricaprate is a multifunctional emulsifier and skin conditioning agent with good emulsification, thickening and skin affinity. Its wide application in personal care and cosmetics makes it one of the most important ingredients in modern skin care and cleansing formulations.
Function
- Emulsifier: As an emulsifier, trimethylolpropane tricaprylate/tricaprate can help mix oil and water to form a stable emulsion. It is commonly used in skin creams, lotions and cosmetics.
- Skin Conditioning Agent: Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricaprate has good skin affinity, can improve the product’s spreadability and usage experience, and provide a smooth feeling.
- Solvent: In some formulations, Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricapratecan act as a solvent to help dissolve and disperse other ingredients.
- Thickener: In some cases, Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricaprate can also act as a thickener, improving the texture of the product.
Application
- Cosmetics field
- In skin care products, such as emulsions, creams, body lotions, etc., Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricaprate is widely used as an emollient ingredient. It can provide moisturizing and hydrating effects for the skin and improve the dry condition of the skin. In some high-end moisturizing creams, when used in combination with other moisturizing ingredients (such as hyaluronic acid, glycerol, etc.), it can enhance the moisturizing efficacy of the product and make the skin more moisturized and shiny.
- In cosmetic products, such as lipsticks, eye shadows, blushes, etc., Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricaprate can be used as a dispersant and lubricant. As a dispersant, it can ensure the even distribution of pigments and make the product's color more pure; as a lubricant, it can make the product easier to apply and improve the user's experience.
- Pharmaceutical field
- In some external drug formulations, such as ointments, creams, etc., Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricaprate can be used as a drug carrier. It can help the drug adhere better to the skin surface and regulate the release rate of the drug. Meanwhile, its emollient effect can also relieve skin discomfort that may be caused by drug irritation.
- Industrial field
- In the plastics industry, Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricaprate is used for the plasticization of plastic products (such as PVC plastics, polyurethanes, etc.). It can improve the flexibility and impact resistance of plastic products, enabling them to meet different industrial and life application requirements. For example, in the production of PVC pipes, adding an appropriate amount of Trimethylolpropane Tricaprylate/Tricaprate can make the pipes softer and less likely to break, thus prolonging their service life.
