Decaglyceryl dipalmitate

Decaglyceryl dipalmitate (CAS 100895-09-8), also supplied under the trade name Polyaldo 10-2P and identified as Polyglyceryl-10 dipalmitate, is a polyglycerol ester of palmitic acid used as an emulsifier and texture modifier across food, cosmetic, and industrial formulations.

Its high hydrophilic character positions it as an oil-in-water emulsifier suited to applications where clean-label or mild surfactant options are required. In food manufacturing, it stabilizes emulsions in low-fat spreads, dressings, and bakery fillings.

Consistent texture and shelf stability are critical purchasing criteria for these applications. Cosmetic formulators use it to build stable oil-in-water creams and lotions, where it also contributes moisturizing performance by supporting the skin barrier within the emulsion matrix.

In leave-on and rinse-off personal care products, it helps control viscosity and improve sensory profile without relying on ethoxylated surfactants. Coatings and adhesive applications utilize it as a dispersing and wetting agent for pigment and filler systems.

Decaglyceryl dipalmitate is typically supplied as a waxy solid or flake. Food-grade material is available meeting standard polyglycerol ester specifications for use in regulated food applications, and cosmetic-grade material is offered for personal care manufacturing.

Packaging ranges from small drums to bulk quantities depending on the supplier. This versatile ingredient ensures high performance across diverse industrial sectors while meeting strict regulatory requirements for safety and quality.
