Glycerol Trioleate, also known as Triolein, is a triglyceride formed by esterification of glycerol with three oleic acid molecules. Identified by CAS No. 122‑32‑7, it is used as an industrial emulsifier ingredient and functional lipid in formulated systems where lubricity, emulsification aid, and compatibility with nonpolar phases are required. As a naturally derived glyceride, Glycerol Trioleate is commonly incorporated into emulsifier blends and specialty chemical formulations at the industrial processing level. The material is supplied with standard documentation including MSDS, TDS, and COA for bulk handling and formulation use.

Product Description
Glycerol Trioleate, also known as Triolein, is supplied as a triglyceride ester based on glycerol and oleic acid. It is more suitable to position this product as an oil-soluble ester raw material rather than as a standalone emulsifier product, because its main value lies in oil-phase compatibility, lubricity, emollient performance, and ester functionality in formulated systems.
This material is commonly applied in personal care oil systems, lubricant and metalworking formulations, specialty ester processing, and research-related lipid applications. Technical documents such as COA, TDS, and SDS may be provided according to the supplied grade.
