Description

(2-Hydroxyethyl)Ammonium Palmitate is an organic salt derived from palmitic acid and 2-aminoethanol, commonly known as ethanolamine. This compound is valued for its surfactant and emulsifying properties, making it a versatile intermediate in industrial formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, textile, and lubricant industries seeking effective, bio-based conditioning and stabilizing agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a key emulsifier and opacifying agent in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Textile Processing: Used as a softener and lubricant in fiber treatments and fabric finishing to improve handle and reduce static.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in water-based lubricant formulations.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Serves as a component in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Cleaning & Detergent Formulations: Employed as a surfactant and viscosity modifier in liquid soaps and industrial cleaners.
• Polymer & Plastic Additives: Used as an internal or external lubricant and antistatic agent in polymer processing.
