City Chemical LLC supplies Tristearin (glyceryl tristearate, CAS 555-43-1), a triglyceride reagent manufactured for laboratory and chemical-synthesis use. Unlike many specialty compounds, Tristearin carries no hazard classification under GHS — it is not classified as a hazardous substance or mixture, and it ships as non-dangerous goods under DOT, IMDG, and IATA rules. A full Safety Data Sheet is available for every order, and each lot is supplied with a Certificate of Analysis confirming appearance, assay, melting point, and solubility.
City Chemical LLC is a privately-held, woman-owned chemical manufacturer headquartered in West Haven, Connecticut. Backed by more than a century of combined operating history, we specialize in rare, unusual, and hard-to-find chemicals that are difficult to source elsewhere. Every order is backed by our ResponseAbilityTM commitment — a dedication to speed, accuracy, and responsiveness at every stage of the chemical purchasing process. Whether you need a small lab-scale quantity or a large industrial order, our team works to deliver the exact specification, packaging, and turnaround your project requires.

Tristearin for Chemical Synthesis and Manufacturing
Tristearin is the triglyceride formed from glycerol and three molecules of stearic acid. Its high melting point and stability make it useful wherever a solid, well-defined fat ester is needed as a starting material or a process aid rather than as an active ingredient in its own right. Because it carries no GHS hazard classification, it is also a straightforward material to bring into a facility that may already be managing more heavily regulated inputs — one less set of hazard communications and shipping restrictions to coordinate.
As a Tristearin supplier, City Chemical LLC serves synthesis chemists and process chemists who need a consistent triglyceride specification for use as a reagent or manufacturing intermediate. A full SDS accompanies every order, and our team is available to answer technical questions about specification and documentation before you place an order.
