Palmitic Acid is a saturated long-chain fatty acid widely found in natural fats and vegetable oils. It is an important fatty-acid raw material used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, personal-care, food and specialty formulations.
Swapnroop Pharma manufactures and supplies Palmitic Acid in India for qualified pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic and industrial formulation applications. Different grades can be supplied according to purity, fatty-acid composition, acid value, iodine value, moisture, melting range and applicable quality requirements.
Palmitic Acid can be used as a fatty-acid-based formulation ingredient and lipid raw material. Its physicochemical characteristics make it suitable for selected pharmaceutical and specialty formulation systems.
Potential applications include:
Palmitic Acid can contribute to the lipid phase, consistency and emollient characteristics of selected formulations. It may also be used as a raw material for the preparation of various fatty-acid derivatives and lipid-based formulation components.
In topical formulations, its long-chain saturated fatty-acid structure can provide useful consistency and skin-conditioning characteristics when incorporated at appropriate concentrations.
Palmitic Acid is chemically known as Hexadecanoic Acid. It is a saturated fatty acid containing 16 carbon atoms.
It has the molecular formula C₁₆H₃₂O₂ and a molecular weight of 256.42 g/mol.
At normal room temperature, high-purity Palmitic Acid is generally supplied as a white to almost white crystalline solid, flakes, powder or granules.
Swapnroop Pharma supplies high-quality Palmitic Acid to pharmaceutical manufacturers, nutraceutical companies, cosmetic manufacturers, formulation developers and other qualified customers.
Supply can be aligned with requirements for purity, fatty-acid profile, melting range, acid value, iodine value, peroxide value, packaging, documentation and intended application.
Palmitic Acid should be stored in tightly closed, moisture-protective packaging in a cool, dry and clean environment. The material should be protected from excessive heat, contamination, direct sunlight and prolonged exposure to air.
Specific storage conditions should follow the applicable SDS, CoA, approved product specification and manufacturer's recommendations.
Depending on the selected grade and customer requirements, documentation may include:
Swapnroop Pharma supplies Palmitic Acid for pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, cosmetic, topical, lipid-based and specialty formulation applications in India and international markets.
