Description

Ethylenebis-12-Hydroxystearamide is a high-performance, non-ionic synthetic wax and amide-based rheology modifier. This compound is valued for its excellent thickening, gelling, and anti-settling properties, providing superior stability and texture control in complex formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the coatings, plastics, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product performance and shelf life.

Application

• Primary thickener and gelling agent for greases, lubricants, and specialty oils.
• Key rheology modifier in solvent-based and high-solid coatings to prevent sagging and settling.
• Internal and external lubricant and processing aid in PVC, engineering plastics, and thermoplastic elastomers.
• Stabilizer and texturizer in cosmetics and personal care products such as lipsticks, creams, and deodorants.
• Anti-blocking and slip agent in polymer films and packaging materials.
• Viscosity control agent for printing inks and adhesives.
• Component in crayons, pencils, and other wax-based industrial products.
