Frequently Asked Questions
What is polyglyceryl-3 oleate used for?
Polyglyceryl-3 oleate (CAS 49553-76-6) is a nonionic polyglycerol ester of oleic acid used as an emulsifier and co-emulsifier for oil-water cosmetic systems. It also aids dispersion of oil-phase components.
Is glyceryl oleate the same as polyglyceryl-3 oleate?
No. Glyceryl oleate is the monoglycerol ester of oleic acid; polyglyceryl-3 oleate is built on a triglycerol backbone, giving different HLB and emulsifying behavior. Confirm CAS 49553-76-6 when specifying.
What is polyglyceryl-3 oleate made from?
It is the ester of oleic acid with triglycerol (polyglycerol-3), CAS 49553-76-6, formula C24H46O6 — a polyglycerol-based nonionic chemistry.
What is the difference between polyglyceryl-3 oleate and polyglyceryl-4 oleate?
They differ in the degree of polyglycerol polymerization (triglycerol vs tetraglycerol), which raises hydrophilicity and HLB for the polyglyceryl-4 grade. Specify the polyglyceryl number for the emulsion type you need.
What grades and packaging is polyglyceryl-3 oleate available in?
Grade and packaging depend on current stock. Contact RawSource with your specification and volume for a bulk quote; CoA and SDS are provided with each lot.
