Hexaglycerol, also known as Polyglycerin - 6 with the CAS number 36675 - 34 - 0, is a high - quality chemical compound. It is a type of polyglycerol with a relatively complex molecular structure. Chemically, it is a polymer of glycerol units connected in a specific way.
The physical properties of Hexaglycerol include its appearance as a clear to slightly yellowish viscous liquid. It has a high boiling point and a relatively low volatility. It is soluble in water, which makes it suitable for a variety of applications in aqueous systems. In terms of purity, our product offers a high - purity grade, ensuring consistent performance in different applications.
Hexaglycerol/Polyglycerin - 6 has a wide range of uses across multiple industries.
In the cosmetic industry, it is often used as a humectant. Humectants are substances that can attract and retain moisture. In skin creams, lotions, and hair care products, Hexaglycerol helps to keep the skin and hair hydrated, preventing dryness and flakiness. It can also improve the texture of cosmetic formulations, making them smoother and more spreadable.
In the food industry, it can be used as an emulsifier and a stabilizer. Emulsifiers help to mix two immiscible substances, such as oil and water, and keep them from separating. In food products like mayonnaise, salad dressings, and margarine, Hexaglycerol ensures a uniform texture and longer shelf - life. As a stabilizer, it helps to maintain the physical and chemical properties of food during storage and processing.
In the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used as a solvent for some drugs and as an excipient in drug formulations. It can enhance the solubility and stability of certain active ingredients, improving the efficacy of the drugs.
For Cosmetic Applications: When formulating cosmetics, Hexaglycerol can be added directly to the water - phase of the formulation. It should be mixed thoroughly at an appropriate temperature, usually below 60°C to avoid any potential degradation. The recommended concentration in cosmetic products ranges from 1% to 10%, depending on the specific product and the desired level of moisturization.
For Food Applications: In food manufacturing, it can be added during the mixing process. It is important to ensure that the product is well - dispersed in the food matrix. The dosage should comply with the relevant food safety regulations. Generally, the usage level is in the range of 0.1% to 5%.
For Pharmaceutical Applications: In the pharmaceutical field, the use of Hexaglycerol should follow strict quality control and regulatory requirements. It usually needs to be sterilized before use. The specific usage method and dosage depend on the nature of the drug and the formulation design, and should be determined by pharmaceutical professionals.
Cosmetics Case: A well - known cosmetic brand was facing the problem of dryness and poor spreadability in their skin cream. They decided to incorporate Hexaglycerol into their formula at a concentration of 3%. After conducting consumer tests, they found that the skin cream became more moisturizing. Consumers reported that their skin felt softer and smoother after using the new product. The sales of the skin cream also increased significantly, indicating the positive impact of Hexaglycerol on the product quality.
Food Case: A food company was producing a low - fat mayonnaise. They were having trouble with the separation of oil and water phases, which affected the product's appearance and shelf - life. By adding 0.5% Hexaglycerol as an emulsifier during the production process, they were able to achieve a stable emulsion. The mayonnaise maintained its uniform texture during storage and transportation, and the product's market acceptance improved.
