Description

Sodium (Z)-n-9-Octadecyl-β-Alaninate is a high-purity, organometallic salt derived from β-alanine and oleyl alcohol, offering unique surfactant and chelating properties. This compound is valued for its ability to act as a highly effective emulsifier and stabilizer in complex formulations, particularly where pH stability and metal ion control are critical. It serves as a key intermediate and functional additive for manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing excellent texture and long-term formulation stability.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Used in topical drug delivery systems to improve skin penetration and as a stabilizing agent in emulsion-based pharmaceuticals.
• Industrial Surfactants: Serves as a key component in the synthesis of specialty surfactants and lubricant additives, offering superior detergency and anti-corrosion properties.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids, protecting machinery and workpieces.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the efficacy of pesticides and herbicides by improving spray droplet retention and active ingredient penetration on plant surfaces.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a softening agent, lubricant, and dyeing assistant to improve fabric handle and processing efficiency.
