Description

Fatty Acids, C14-18 And C16-18 -Unsatd., Esters With Ethylene Glycol is a synthetic ester derived from a blend of unsaturated C14-C18 fatty acids and ethylene glycol, serving as a versatile non-ionic intermediate and emollient. This compound is valued for its ability to modify viscosity, improve lubricity, and enhance the texture of formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, lubricant, and polymer industries seeking consistent performance and supply chain reliability.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a skin-conditioning agent, emollient, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Lubricants & Greases: Functions as a synthetic base oil or additive to improve lubricity, reduce friction, and enhance thermal stability.
• Polymer & Plastic Additives: Used as a plasticizer or internal lubricant in PVC and other polymer processing to improve flexibility and processing characteristics.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Serves as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber production and fabric finishing.
• Industrial Coatings & Inks: Employed as a flow modifier and wetting agent to improve film formation and application properties.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic fluids.
