Description

Aluminum Dilinoleate is a metallic soap derived from linoleic acid, functioning as a versatile organometallic compound. It serves as an effective gelling agent, thickener, and stabilizer in various industrial formulations, valued for its ability to modify rheological properties. This product is essential for manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, lubricant, and polymer industries seeking to control viscosity and improve product texture.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a viscosity modifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, ointments, and deodorant sticks.
• Lubricant & Grease Formulation: Used as a thickener and gelling agent to produce consistent, high-temperature stable lubricating greases.
• Polymer & Plastic Additive: Functions as an internal lubricant, acid scavenger, and processing aid in PVC and other polymer systems.
• Paint & Coating Industry: Serves as a flatting agent, anti-settling agent, and rheology controller in various coating formulations.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Employed to adjust viscosity, prevent sagging, and improve the application properties of adhesives and caulks.
• Pharmaceutical Ointments: Used as a gelling and thickening agent in topical drug delivery systems and dermatological preparations.

Quality Control

Our Aluminum Dilinoleate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent performance, including analysis of metal content, acid value, and rheological properties. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identification, and physical specifications is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your formulation requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance.
