Description

n-(2-Hydroxypropyl)Decan-1-Amide is a specialty amide surfactant and emulsifying agent derived from capric acid. This compound is valued for its excellent surface activity, compatibility with various formulations, and mild properties. It serves as a key functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial surfactant sectors seeking effective, non-ionic emulsifiers and foam boosters.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• Hair Care Formulations: Used in shampoos and conditioners as a foam booster and viscosity modifier, enhancing product feel and performance.
• Skin Cleansing Products: Serves as a mild surfactant in facial cleansers, shower gels, and syndet bars.
• Industrial Surfactants: Employed in textile processing, agrochemical formulations, and leather treatment as a wetting and dispersing agent.
• Lubricants and Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in water-based industrial fluid formulations.
