Frequently Asked Questions
What is polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate used for?
Polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate (CAS 26942-95-0) is a nonionic polyglycerol ester used as an emulsifier (water-in-oil and oil-in-water) and emollient in cosmetic formulations. It also aids pigment wetting and dispersion in ethoxylate-free systems.
What is the common name for polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate?
It is the triglycerol diester of isostearic acid, identified by INCI name Polyglyceryl-3 Diisostearate and CAS 26942-95-0, formula C57H110O6.
What is polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate made from?
It is formed by esterifying isostearic acid with triglycerol (polyglycerol-3), a polyglycerol-based nonionic chemistry.
How does polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate differ from polyglyceryl-2 diisostearate?
Both are diisostearate esters but on different polyglycerol backbones (triglycerol vs diglycerol), which shifts HLB and emulsion behavior. Specify the polyglyceryl number when ordering.
What grades and packaging is polyglyceryl-3 diisostearate available in?
Grade and packaging depend on current stock. Contact RawSource with your specification and volume for a bulk quote; CoA and SDS accompany each lot.
