Description

Dicetyl Phosphate is a high-purity, long-chain alkyl phosphate ester widely utilized as a versatile surfactant and emulsifying agent. Its molecular structure provides excellent stability and surface-active properties, making it a critical component in formulations requiring precise control over interfacial tension. This product is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable performance in emulsion stabilization and as a processing aid.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in topical creams, ointments, and controlled-release drug delivery systems.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Acts as a primary emulsifier in lotions, creams, and sunscreens, providing stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• Industrial Emulsions: Serves as a key surfactant in the formulation of lubricants, textile processing aids, and polymer emulsions.
• Antistatic Agent: Employed in plastics and synthetic fiber production to reduce static charge buildup.
• Corrosion Inhibition: Functions as an additive in metalworking fluids and protective coatings.
• Research & Development: Used as a standard or intermediate in chemical synthesis and material science research.
