Description

Dicetyl Phosphate, Sodium Salt is an anionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from a long-chain fatty alcohol. This compound is valued for its ability to form stable emulsions and act as a dispersing agent in complex formulations. It is primarily utilized in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries where consistent performance and material compatibility are critical.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and sunscreens to stabilize oil-in-water systems.
• Pharmaceuticals: Used as an excipient in topical drug delivery systems and ointments to enhance skin penetration and formulation stability.
• Industrial Emulsions: Serves as a dispersant and stabilizer in lubricant additives, textile processing aids, and polymer emulsions.
• Specialty Surfactant Blends: Incorporated into high-performance surfactant mixtures for demanding cleaning and wetting applications.

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); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
