Description

N,n-Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Isooctadecan-1-Amide is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier belonging to the class of fatty acid alkanolamides. This compound is valued for its excellent thickening, foam boosting, and conditioning properties, making it a versatile performance additive. It is primarily used by formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors to enhance product stability and sensory characteristics.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary or secondary emulsifier, thickener, and foam stabilizer in shampoos, body washes, liquid soaps, and creams.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and vehicle wash formulations for its detergency and foam enhancement.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a softener, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber treatment and finishing baths.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting and grinding fluids.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Employed as a surfactant and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spray coverage and efficacy.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a pigment dispersant and flow control agent to ensure uniform color and application.
