1.Product Property
Glyceryl trioleate is a light-yellow, viscous liquid with a faint fatty odor, insoluble in water but readily soluble in most organic solvents. It exhibits excellent lubricity, oxidative stability, and low volatility, making it ideal for high-temperature processes and long-term storage. Its low acid value and high purity ensure minimal corrosion and consistent performance.

3.Application Scope and Usage
Glycerol Trioleate is widely used as a high-performance lubricant in the textile industry, reducing fiber-to-metal friction during spinning and weaving. It also serves as a smoothing agent in post-processing of metals, enhancing surface finish and protecting against corrosion. In personal care formulations it functions as an emollient and carrier oil, and in plastics it acts as a plasticizer and processing aid.
4.Package and Storage
Supplied in 50 kg and 200 kg clean, sealed HDPE plastic drums. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight, heat, and strong oxidizers. Keep containers tightly closed to prevent moisture ingress and contamination. Handle as a non-hazardous chemical; normal warehouse temperature (15–30 °C) is adequate for long-term stability.
