Description

Amides, Coco, n-(2-Hydroxypropyl) is a non-ionic surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids and 1-amino-2-propanol. This compound matters for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties, making it a versatile intermediate and functional additive. Industries that need it include personal care, cosmetics, textile processing, and industrial cleaning, where it serves as a key ingredient for mildness and performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier, thickener, and opacifying agent in creams, lotions, and shampoos, providing a rich, stable texture.
• Hair Conditioners: Functions as an effective conditioning agent, imparting softness, manageability, and a silky feel to hair.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a softener, lubricant, and anti-static agent in fabric finishing processes.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as a surfactant and viscosity builder in liquid soaps, detergents, and hard-surface cleaners.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in soluble oils and coolants.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and sticking properties of pesticides and herbicides.
