Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.,.Alpha.,.Alpha.-1,2,3-Propanetriyltris.Omega.-Hydroxy-, Hexadecanoate Octadecanoate is a specialized non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from glycerol ethoxylate esterified with palmitic and stearic acids. This chemical is valued for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties in complex formulations. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial lubricant sectors for creating stable, high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and ointments, providing a smooth texture and consistent formulation.
• Hair Care Products: Used as a conditioning agent and emollient in shampoos and conditioners to improve manageability and impart softness.
• Skin Care Formulations: Serves as a key ingredient in moisturizing creams and anti-aging serums for its skin-softening and stabilizing effects.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in water-based lubricants and coolants.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber treatment and leather finishing processes.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the efficacy of pesticides and herbicides by improving spray droplet retention and spread on plant surfaces.
