Description

Lignoceroyl Ethanolamide is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid ethanolamide derivative, synthesized from lignoceric acid. This specialty surfactant and viscosity modifier is valued for its excellent thickening, foam-boosting, and conditioning properties in demanding formulations. It serves as a critical performance additive for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial lubricants sectors seeking enhanced stability and texture.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary or secondary thickener, opacifier, and pearlizing agent in shampoos, conditioners, liquid soaps, and creams.
• Hair Care Formulations: Provides exceptional conditioning and detangling properties, improving hair manageability and feel.
• Skin Care Products: Used in lotions and moisturizers for its emollient and skin-smoothing effects.
• Industrial Surfactant Blends: Functions as a foam stabilizer and viscosity builder in industrial and institutional cleaning products.
• Lubricant & Grease Additive: Serves as a thickening agent and tackifier in specialty lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Textile & Fiber Processing: Employed as a softener and antistatic agent in fabric treatment formulations.
