Where is Hydrogenated palm glycerides used?

• Cosmetics: emollient and emulsifier in creams, lotions, and lip products
• Food: structuring fat and emulsifier in confectionery coatings and bakery shortenings
• Compound chocolate: controlled melting behaviour
• Adhesives and hot-melt systems: rheology modifier adjusting viscosity and setting characteristics
• Personal care stick formats such as deodorants and solid sunscreens rely on its wax-like consistency for structural rigidity.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm the mono/di/triglyceride ratio and iodine value when specifying for a particular application. Food-grade material typically conforms to FCC or regional food additive standards.

Commercial specifications

• Melting point ranges vary by hydrogenation degree
