Description

N,n-Diethanololeamide is a nonionic surfactant and foam stabilizer derived from oleic acid and diethanolamine. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent thickening, emulsifying, and conditioning properties in aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized by formulators in the personal care, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a thickener, opacifier, and pearlizing agent in shampoos, liquid soaps, shower gels, and cream-based formulations.
• Textile Processing: Used as a softener and lubricant in fiber and yarn processing to improve handle and reduce static.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaning: Serves as a foam booster and stabilizer in heavy-duty detergents, degreasers, and hard surface cleaners.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and coolants.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed as a component in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion.
• Leather Processing: Used as a fatliquoring agent to soften and lubricate leather fibers.
