Description

1,2,3-Propanetriol, Homopolymer, Docosanoate is a high-purity, synthetic polymer ester derived from glycerol and behenic acid. This specialized chemical offers excellent lubricity, thermal stability, and water resistance, making it a valuable non-ionic additive and emollient. It is primarily sought by formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and high-performance lubricant industries for its unique textural and functional properties.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a high-performance emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, lipsticks, and sunscreens.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used as a non-irritating base or excipient in ointments, dermatological creams, and controlled-release formulations.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Provides excellent lubricity and anti-wear properties in specialty greases, metalworking fluids, and mold release agents.
• Plastic & Polymer Additive: Functions as an internal lubricant and processing aid to improve flow and reduce friction during the extrusion and molding of polymers.
• Textile & Fiber Treatment: Serves as a softening agent and lubricant for synthetic fibers and yarns to enhance processing and feel.
• Food-Grade Lubricants (where compliant): Potential use as a component in formulations requiring incidental food contact (H1) lubricants, subject to specific purity grades and regulatory approval.
