Description

Stearic Acid, Compound With 1,1'-Iminodi(Propan-2-Ol) (1:1) is a specialized chemical salt formed from stearic acid and diisopropanolamine. This compound is valued for its dual functionality, combining the hydrophobic, lubricating, and emulsifying properties of a long-chain fatty acid with the neutralizing and stabilizing characteristics of an alkanolamine. It serves as a critical performance additive and intermediate in several high-value industrial formulations. Key sectors that utilize this material include personal care, coatings, plastics, and specialty chemical synthesis.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a gentle emulsifier, opacifier, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Coatings & Inks: Functions as a dispersing agent, grinding aid, and flow control additive to improve pigment wetting and final film properties.
• Plastics & Polymers: Serves as an internal and external lubricant and acid scavenger (stabilizer) in PVC and other polymer processing.
• Metalworking Fluids: Used as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting and drawing fluids.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Employed as a softener and lubricant in fiber processing and fabric finishing.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a key intermediate or neutralizing agent for producing quaternary ammonium compounds and other specialty surfactants.
