Polyglyceryl-3 oleate

Polyglyceryl-3 oleate (CAS 33940-98-6), also known commercially as CAPROL 3GO and Triglycerol monooleate, is a polyglycerol ester of oleic acid used as an emulsifier and rheology modifier.

Where is Polyglyceryl-3 oleate used?

• Food manufacturing: emulsifier in fat-based systems such as chocolate, compound coatings and bakery margarines
• Personal care: builds stable water-in-oil emulsions in skin creams, sunscreens and color cosmetics
• Coatings and adhesives: dispersant and wetting agent
• Sealants and elastomers: processing aid that optimizes flow during mixing
• It stabilizes oil-water systems and controls flow behaviour in complex formulations.

Good to know: Food-grade material typically meets FCC or EU food additive standards; industrial technical grades are offered where food compliance is not required.
