Description

Linolenic Acid Propoxylated Monoesters is a specialized non-ionic surfactant derived from the propoxylation of linolenic acid. This chemical offers unique surface-active properties, making it valuable for formulating products requiring emulsification, lubrication, or dispersion. It is particularly sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, coatings, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking bio-based or specialty additive solutions.

Application

• As a primary emulsifier or co-emulsifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations, such as creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• As a lubricity additive and anti-wear agent in bio-based industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• As a dispersing agent and wetting aid in pigment preparations for coatings, inks, and agrochemical formulations.
• As a key intermediate for the synthesis of more complex polymeric surfactants and ester derivatives.
• As a plasticizer and processing aid in select polymer and resin systems to improve flexibility and flow.
• In the formulation of textile auxiliaries for fiber lubrication and softening.

Quality Control

Our Linolenic Acid Propoxylated Monoesters undergo rigorous quality testing to ensure compliance with industry standards. We implement a comprehensive quality management system to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing key parameters such as assay, hydroxyl value, acid value, and peroxide value are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its easily oxidized nature, minimize headspace in opened containers and use promptly.
