Description

n-(2-Aminoethyl)-n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)Stearamide is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifying agent derived from stearic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent stability, emulsifying properties, and ability to function as a cationic conditioner. It is essential for formulators in the personal care, textile, and industrial chemical sectors seeking to enhance product performance, stability, and feel. Key industries that utilize this specialty amide include cosmetics, hair care, fabric softeners, and lubricant additives.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Acts as a primary cationic conditioning agent, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Skin Care & Cosmetic Creams: Functions as a non-ionic emulsifier and stabilizer in lotions, creams, and ointments, improving texture and skin feel.
• Textile Softeners: A key ingredient in cationic fabric softeners and antistatic agents, imparting a soft, smooth hand to fabrics.
• Industrial Emulsifiers: Used in the formulation of cutting fluids, metalworking lubricants, and pesticide emulsions for stable oil-in-water systems.
• Antistatic Agents: Employed in plastics and synthetic fiber processing to reduce static charge buildup.
• Corrosion Inhibitors: Serves as an additive in lubricants and coatings to provide a protective film on metal surfaces.
