Description

Ricinoleamide Mipa CAS NO 40986-29-6 is a non-ionic surfactant derived from castor oil, specifically the mono-isopropanolamide of ricinoleic acid. This specialty chemical is valued for its excellent emulsifying, thickening, and foam-stabilizing properties in a variety of formulations. It is a key ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, naturally-derived additives.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and viscosity builder in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Shaving Products: Used as a foam booster and stabilizer in shaving creams and gels for a rich, creamy lather.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as an effective emulsifier and detergent in heavy-duty degreasers and cleaning concentrates.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a softener, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber and fabric treatments.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in soluble oils and coolants.
• Agricultural Formulations: Used as an adjuvant to enhance the spreading and sticking of pesticides and herbicides.
