Description

Aluminium Tridocosanoate is a metallic soap compound derived from docosanoic acid (behenic acid). This material serves as a versatile functional additive, offering properties such as thickening, gelling, and water repellency. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of high-performance lubricants, coatings, and personal care products where thermal stability and hydrophobic characteristics are required.

Application

• As a thickening and gelling agent in high-temperature lubricating greases and specialty oils.
• As a hydrophobic additive in protective coatings, paints, and varnishes to enhance water resistance.
• As a stabilizer and viscosity modifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations, including creams and ointments.
• As a release agent and processing aid in the plastics and rubber manufacturing industries.
• In the production of waterproofing agents for textiles, paper, and construction materials.
• As a potential corrosion inhibitor in metal treatment formulations.

Quality Control

Our Aluminium Tridocosanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, composition, and performance characteristics. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, identification, and impurity profiles is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
