Description

Stearic Acid, Monoester With Oxybis(Propanediol) is a specialized non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from stearic acid. This compound is valued for its ability to stabilize formulations and modify the texture and consistency of end products. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for its reliable performance as a thickening agent, opacifier, and emollient.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a key opacifying agent, thickener, and pearlescent agent in shampoos, liquid soaps, shower gels, and creams.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used as a non-ionic emulsifier and consistency provider in ointments, creams, and lotions.
• Industrial Emulsions: Serves as an emulsifier and stabilizer in various industrial lubricants, textile processing aids, and polymer emulsions.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Imparts viscosity and a rich, pearlescent appearance to liquid detergents and cleaning products.
