Description

N,N'-(2-Hydroxy-1,3-Propanediyl)-Bis-[n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-Hexadecanamide is a high-purity, non-ionic specialty surfactant and emulsifier derived from fatty acids. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties, making it a critical performance additive in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating stable, high-quality emulsions and enhancing product texture.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing stable oil-in-water emulsions and a smooth, non-greasy skin feel.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used in the formulation of ointments, gels, and medicated creams to ensure uniform drug dispersion and enhance skin penetration.
• Hair Care Products: Serves as a conditioning agent and emulsifier in shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products, improving manageability and shine.
• Industrial Emulsions: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in specialty lubricants, textile processing aids, and polymer emulsions.
• Advanced Material Synthesis: Can be utilized as a non-ionic surfactant in the synthesis of nanoparticles and other fine chemicals to control particle size and dispersion.
