Description

9-Octadecenoic Acid (Z)-, Ester With 1,2,3-Propanetriol is a high-purity chemical ester, specifically the mono-oleate of glycerol. This compound is valued for its role as a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier, offering excellent wetting and dispersing properties. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers in industries requiring stable emulsions and consistent product performance.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical emulsions (creams, lotions).
• Internal lubricant and release agent in plastic and polymer processing.
• Key ingredient in textile auxiliaries for fiber lubrication and softening.
• Stabilizer and dispersing agent in agricultural formulations and pesticide concentrates.
• Intermediate for the synthesis of more complex surfactants and specialty esters.
• Additive in metalworking fluids and industrial lubricants for corrosion protection.
• Used in the production of antifoaming agents and defoamers for various industrial processes.
• Component in personal care products such as hair conditioners and skin cleansers.
