Frequently Asked Questions
What is glyceryl behenate made of?
Glyceryl behenate is the glycerol ester of behenic acid, a C22 saturated fatty acid. It is a high-melting glyceryl ester (C25H50O4 for the representative monoester) used in personal-care and related formulations. RawSource supplies it under CAS 30233-64-8.
What is another name for glyceryl behenate?
It is also called glycerol behenate and, by INCI, glyceryl behenate; behenic acid itself is docosanoic acid. All refer to the C22 fatty-acid glyceryl ester, CAS 30233-64-8. Reference the CAS on procurement documents to confirm identity.
What is glyceryl behenate used for?
It is used as an emollient and anti-static agent in personal-care and related formulations, and as a high-melting C22 glyceryl ester that adds body, consistency, and texture. Its high melting point makes it useful for structuring sticks and balms. Technical data supports use-level selection.
Is glyceryl behenate plant-derived?
Glyceryl behenate is the glyceryl ester of behenic acid, which is commonly sourced from plant oils; confirm the specific origin on the source documentation for your lot. RawSource provides origin and CoA documentation on request. Reference CAS 30233-64-8 when sourcing.
How is bulk glyceryl behenate supplied and quoted?
It is supplied with CoA and SDS in packaging scaled to order volume. Pricing depends on grade, quantity, and packaging, so we quote per request rather than list a price. Submit a bulk RFQ with your target volume for a current quote.
What is the CAS number of Glyceryl Behenate?
The CAS number of Glyceryl Behenate is 30233-64-8.
