Description

Stearylamine Acetate is the acetate salt of stearylamine, a long-chain primary amine. This compound is valued for its cationic surfactant properties, which provide excellent emulsification, conditioning, and antistatic effects in various formulations. It serves as a key functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and agrochemical industries seeking to improve product performance and stability.

Application

• Hair Conditioners & Cream Rinses: Acts as a primary cationic surfactant, providing excellent detangling, softness, and manageability to hair.
• Fabric Softeners: Imparts a soft, smooth hand feel to textiles and reduces static cling.
• Agrochemical Emulsifiers & Adjuvants: Used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, adhesion, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Industrial Corrosion Inhibitors: Forms a protective film on metal surfaces, particularly in acidic environments.
• Bitumen Emulsions: Serves as an emulsifying agent in road construction and maintenance products.
• Mineral Flotation: Acts as a collector in the froth flotation process for separating minerals.
• Cosmetic Creams & Lotions: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in oil-in-water systems.
• Antistatic Agents for Plastics: Incorporated into polymer compounds to reduce dust attraction and static discharge.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
