Description

Dihydroxyethyl Stearamine Oxide is a high-purity, nonionic surfactant derived from stearic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, conditioning, and antistatic properties, making it a versatile functional additive. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of personal care products, industrial cleaners, and textile processing aids where mildness and foam stability are required.

Application

• Primary surfactant and foam booster in mild shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps.
• Conditioning and antistatic agent in hair care formulations such as conditioners and treatments.
• Emulsifier and viscosity modifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Key ingredient in industrial and institutional cleaning products for hard surface cleaning.
• Fabric softener and dye leveling agent in textile manufacturing processes.
• Corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in specialty industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Foam stabilizer and dispersant in agricultural adjuvant formulations.
• Component in dishwashing liquids and other household detergents for enhanced grease removal.
