Capmul 907P, Capmul 908P, Capmul 708G

High purity mono-glycerides that are the new age in "non-toxic" preservation .

ABITEC proposes three food-grade ingredients for use in personal care as emollient esters with antimicrobial properties.  These are:

Capmul 907P (Propylene Glycol Heptanoate)

Capmul 908P(Propylene Glycol Caprylate)

Capmul 708G (Glyceryl Caprylate)


At usage levels of 0.5 to 1.0% in emulsion-type formulations, these non-toxic ingredients offer preservation against a wide range of microbes, including molds and yeasts.  The products are also available in their non-distilled form but usage levels have to be adjusted accordingly.  These esters are only suitable for use in neutral pH formulations.

Capmul Range of High Purity Mono-glycerides - Features and Benefits:

  • Clear, odorless products suitable as an emollient in multiple applications.
  • Broad range of antimicrobial and preservation possibilities.
  • Established low toxicity profile   Registered as food ingredients.
  • Appeals to "non-toxic" or "eco-friendly" concepts.
  • High batch to batch consistency with no by-products.
