Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate

Supported by our highly experienced professionals, we have emerged as an affluent supplier of Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, which is a polar, branched chain tretraester with low interfacial tension and high molecular weight, designed to impart long-lasting emolliency and low comodogenicity in colour cosmetics. It is a wonderful alternative too castor oil and provides highly occlusive skin protection with an appealing high-gloss finish. It is insoluble in water, ethanol and hydroalcoholic systems. Pentaerythrityl tetraisostearate has a high molecular weight with a relatively high viscosity, compared to other esters. Therefore it has one of the lowest Emollient Skin Spreading Factors available (ESSF = 2.9), as seen in figure 3, and spreads slowly on the skin. This means that it is not only a highly lubricious emollient, but it also provides persistent luxurious and cushiony skin feel. Its low interfacial tension shows that it has a relatively high polarity and is an excellent wetting and dispersing agent for pigments. Our esteemed clients can avail this from us at market leading prices.
