Full Description

Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate (CAS 79665-93-3) is a nonionic surfactant, the oleic-acid ester of decaglycerol (polyglycerol-10). It is used as an oil-in-water emulsifier and solubilizer in personal-care formulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is polyglyceryl-10 oleate used for?

Polyglyceryl-10 oleate (CAS 79665-93-3) is a nonionic, PEG-free oil-in-water emulsifier and solubilizer used in personal-care formulations. It is the oleic-acid ester of decaglycerol and also acts as a wetting and dispersing surfactant in aqueous systems.

What is polyglyceryl-10 oleate made from?

It is the ester of oleic acid with decaglycerol (polyglycerol-10), a polyglycerol-based nonionic chemistry, CAS 79665-93-3, formula C48H96O23.

How does polyglyceryl-10 oleate differ from polyglyceryl-10 laurate?

Both are decaglycerol esters but differ in fatty-acid chain: oleate uses oleic acid (C18 unsaturated) versus lauric acid (C12) for the laurate. This changes HLB and solubilizing behavior, so specify the ester for your formulation.

What is the HS code for polyglyceryl-10 oleate?

It classifies under HS 3402.42 (non-ionic organic surface-active agents). Confirm the final classification with your customs broker.

What grades and packaging is polyglyceryl-10 oleate available in?

Grade and packaging (drums, totes) depend on current stock. Contact RawSource with your specification and volume for a bulk quote; CoA and SDS are provided with each lot.
