Magnesium dipalmitate, with the CAS number 2601 - 98 - 1, is a metallic salt of palmitic acid. Its molecular formula is C32H62MgO4. The compound appears as a white or almost white powder. It is insoluble in water and has a relatively high melting point.
Our factory supply of magnesium dipalmitate is of high - quality, meeting strict industry standards. It has a purity level that ensures its effectiveness in various applications. The particle size of our product is carefully controlled to provide consistent performance.
In the cosmetic industry, magnesium dipalmitate is widely used as an emulsifier and stabilizer. It helps to blend oil and water - based ingredients in cosmetic formulations, such as creams, lotions, and makeup products. This results in a smooth and stable texture, preventing the separation of ingredients over time.
In the pharmaceutical field, it can be used as a lubricant in tablet manufacturing. It reduces the friction between the tablet and the die wall during the compression process, ensuring that tablets are easily ejected from the punches without sticking. Additionally, it can also improve the flowability of powders during the formulation of capsules.
It can also be used in the food industry as an anti - caking agent. By preventing the agglomeration of food particles, it helps to maintain the free - flowing nature of powdered or granulated food products.
Cosmetic Applications: When using magnesium dipalmitate in cosmetic formulations, it is typically added during the emulsification process. First, heat the oil and water phases separately. Then, gradually add the magnesium dipalmitate to the oil phase under stirring. Once the magnesium dipalmitate is completely dissolved in the oil phase, slowly combine the oil and water phases while using a high - speed homogenizer to ensure a fine and stable emulsion.
Pharmaceutical Applications: In tablet manufacturing, magnesium dipalmitate is usually added as the last step in the granulation process. Mix it with the granulated powder for a short period (usually 2 - 5 minutes) to ensure uniform distribution. The recommended concentration is generally between 0.2% - 1% of the total weight of the tablet formulation.
Food Applications: For food products, simply blend magnesium dipalmitate with the powdered or granulated food ingredients. The amount used depends on the specific food product and the desired anti - caking effect, typically ranging from 0.01% - 0.1% of the total weight.
Cosmetic Industry Case: A well - known cosmetic brand was facing challenges with the stability of their moisturizing cream. The product would separate into oil and water phases after a few weeks of storage. By replacing the original emulsifier with our factory - supplied magnesium dipalmitate at a concentration of 3% in the formulation, the cream remained stable for over six months. Customers reported a smoother and more consistent texture, leading to an increase in product sales.
Pharmaceutical Industry Case: A pharmaceutical company was experiencing issues with tablet sticking during the production of a pain - relief medication. After switching to magnesium dipalmitate as the lubricant at a concentration of 0.5%, the tablet production process became much more efficient. The number of defective tablets decreased from 10% to less than 1%, resulting in significant cost savings for the company.
Food Industry Case: A manufacturer of instant coffee powder was struggling with caking problems, which affected the solubility and appearance of their product. By adding 0.05% of magnesium dipalmitate to the coffee powder, the caking issue was resolved. The coffee powder remained free - flowing, and customer satisfaction improved as the product dissolved more easily in water.
