Glyceryl dioleate

Glyceryl dioleate (CAS 25637-84-7), also known as Diolein, is a diester of glycerol and oleic acid.

Where is Glyceryl dioleate used?

• Personal care: emulsifier, skin-conditioning agent and lubricant that stabilizes oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions in creams, lotions and serums
• Food: emulsifier in fat-based products, bakery fillings and confectionery coatings
• Lubricants and metalworking fluids: boundary lubrication from the oleic acid backbone, reducing wear on metal surfaces during cutting and forming
• Pigment concentrates: dispersing agent for uniform distribution in oleophilic systems
• It bridges oil and water phases or reduces friction in mechanical systems.

Good to know: Quality is typically defined by monoglyceride/diglyceride ratio and acid value. Cosmetic-grade and food-grade (FCC) specifications are offered, with purity levels defined by specific ratios.
