Description

Linoleic Acid Diethanolamide is a nonionic surfactant derived from linoleic acid and diethanolamine. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, thickening, and foam-stabilizing properties, making it a key ingredient in formulations requiring rich, stable lather and viscosity control. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary or secondary surfactant and foam booster in shampoos, body washes, liquid soaps, and shaving creams.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Used in dishwashing liquids, hard surface cleaners, and degreasers for its emulsifying power and ability to suspend soil.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a softener, lubricant, and dyeing assistant in various treatment baths.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in soluble oils and coolants.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Incorporated into pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and wetting on plant surfaces.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Aids in pigment dispersion and stabilization in water-based systems.
