Description

1-Docosanol Propanoate is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid ester derived from behenyl alcohol. This compound serves as a versatile and effective emollient, lubricant, and viscosity modifier in advanced formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty chemical industries seeking premium raw materials for high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a non-greasy, skin-conditioning emollient and thickening agent in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and sunscreens.
• Hair Care Products: Used as a lubricant and gloss-enhancing agent in conditioners, serums, and styling products to improve manageability and shine.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Serves as a base or excipient in ointments, creams, and dermatological preparations for its smooth texture and stability.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Functions as a bio-based lubricant and mold release agent in plastics processing and fine mechanical applications.
• Textile & Fiber Treatment: Imparts softness and acts as a spin finish or lubricant in synthetic fiber production.
• Specialty Waxes & Polishes: A key component in high-end carnauba wax blends, shoe polishes, and coating formulations to enhance gloss and durability.
