Description

Aluminium Hexadecan-1-Olate is a metallic soap compound, specifically the aluminum salt of palmitic acid. This material serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, valued for its hydrophobic and thickening properties. It is primarily utilized in industries such as lubricant manufacturing, plastics, and personal care for its role in modifying rheology and enhancing product stability.

Application

• As a thickening and gelling agent in the formulation of greases and specialty lubricants.
• Used as a stabilizer and water repellent in various polymer and plastic compositions.
• Functions as an opacifying agent and viscosity modifier in cosmetics and personal care products like creams and lotions.
• Acts as a catalyst or catalyst carrier in specific organic synthesis processes.
• Employed in the production of corrosion-resistant coatings and paints.
• Serves as a waterproofing agent in textiles and construction materials.
