Description

Linoleamide MEA is a non-ionic surfactant derived from linoleic acid and monoethanolamine. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, foam-boosting, and viscosity-modifying properties, making it a key functional ingredient in demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, mild, and biodegradable surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier, foam stabilizer, and thickener in shampoos, conditioners, liquid soaps, and shaving creams.
• Skin Care Formulations: Used in creams, lotions, and sunscreens for its emulsifying power and ability to impart a rich, creamy texture.
• Hair Care Products: Enhances foam quality and stability in shampoos while improving conditioning and manageability in rinse-off products.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a surfactant and emulsifier in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and vehicle wash formulations.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a softener, lubricant, and anti-static agent in fiber and fabric treatment processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and coolants.
