Description

Tritridecanoic Acid Aluminum Salt is a specialized metallic soap compound with the CAS registry number 10327-54-5. This chemical serves as a highly effective gelling agent, thickener, and stabilizer in various industrial formulations, offering superior performance in non-aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the lubricant, grease, polymer, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product viscosity, thermal stability, and texture.

Application

• Lubricating Grease Thickener: A key component in aluminum complex greases, providing excellent water resistance, high-temperature stability, and mechanical shear stability.
• Polymer Additive: Acts as a gelling agent and rheology modifier in plastisols, organosols, and PVC pastes to control viscosity and prevent settling.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used as a viscosity increasing agent and opacifier in anhydrous formulations such as sticks, ointments, and antiperspirants.
• Paint & Coating Industry: Functions as a flatting agent and matting agent to reduce gloss and improve texture in specialty coatings.
• Sealants and Adhesives: Imparts thixotropic properties to prevent sagging and control flow during application.
• Catalyst and Chemical Intermediate: Employed in organic synthesis and as a catalyst support or precursor in certain chemical processes.
