Description

Distearic Acid, Diester With Hexaglycerol is a synthetic, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from stearic acid and a hexaglycerol polyol backbone. This compound is valued for its excellent stability, emulsifying properties, and ability to modify viscosity and texture in complex formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and industrial lubricants sectors seeking reliable performance additives.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and thickener in creams, lotions, and makeup products to provide stable, luxurious textures.
• Industrial Lubricants & Greases: Serves as a viscosity modifier and anti-wear additive, enhancing the performance and longevity of lubricating oils and greases.
• Plastic & Polymer Additives: Functions as an internal or external lubricant and processing aid to improve flow and mold release during polymer extrusion and molding.
• Textile & Fiber Processing: Used as a softening agent and lubricant for fibers and yarns to improve handling and reduce friction during manufacturing.
• Food-Grade Lubricants & Release Agents: Employed in formulations where incidental food contact is possible, leveraging its stability and non-toxic profile.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a dispersing agent and flow control additive to prevent pigment settling and ensure smooth application.
