Description

Oleic Acid Monoisopropanolamide is a nonionic surfactant derived from oleic acid and isopropanolamine. This versatile amide compound is valued for its excellent thickening, foam boosting, and conditioning properties in aqueous systems. It is a key ingredient for formulators in the personal care, household, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Personal Care Products: Acts as a primary or secondary surfactant, thickener, and opacifier in shampoos, liquid soaps, shower gels, and shaving creams.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Used in liquid dishwashing detergents, hard surface cleaners, and laundry detergents for its foam stabilization and viscosity-building characteristics.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a softener, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber treatments and leather finishing formulations.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed as an emulsifier and spreader in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve coverage and efficacy.
• Paint & Coatings: Used as a dispersing agent and flow control additive to improve pigment wetting and final film properties.
