Description

Fatty Acids, C12-18, Mixed Esters With Citric Acid, Pentaerythritol And Stearyl Alc. is a specialized, multi-functional ester complex designed for high-performance formulations. This compound matters because it combines the lubricity and hydrophobicity of long-chain fatty acids with the chelating and stabilizing properties of citric acid derivatives, offering a unique synergy. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking advanced multifunctional additives.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a versatile emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and opacifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Plastic & Polymer Industry: Serves as an internal and external lubricant and anti-static agent in PVC processing and other polymer formulations.
• Industrial Lubricants & Greases: Functions as a friction modifier and thickening agent in synthetic lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a softener and lubricant for fibers and yarns to improve processing and hand feel.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing aid and flow modifier to enhance pigment wetting and film formation.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Acts as a plasticizer and tackifier modifier to adjust rheological properties and improve adhesion.
