Description

n-[[(1-Oxohexadecyl)Amino]Methyl]Stearamide is a high-purity, synthetic fatty acid amide derivative with a complex, long-chain alkyl structure. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active and emulsifying properties, making it a critical performance additive in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty chemical industries for its ability to enhance texture, stability, and sensory characteristics.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Emulsifier: Functions as a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing stable oil-in-water emulsions with a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Viscosity Modifier & Thickening Agent: Used to control the rheology and improve the texture of cosmetic gels, ointments, and hair care products.
• Skin Conditioning Agent: Imparts superior moisturization and emolliency, leaving skin feeling soft and supple.
• Lubricant & Release Agent: Employed in industrial applications, including polymer processing and mold release formulations, due to its excellent lubricating properties.
• Specialty Surfactant Intermediate: Serves as a key building block for synthesizing more complex surfactants and amphoteric compounds.
• Anti-static Agent: Can be formulated into products to reduce static charge in plastics and synthetic fibers.

Quality Control

Our n-[[(1-Oxohexadecyl)Amino]Methyl]Stearamide is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, melting point, acid value, and amine value is provided with every shipment to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your formulation needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
