Description

Fatty Acids, Coco, 1-Methyl-1,2-Ethanediyl Esters CAS NO 68953-19-5 is a synthetic ester derived from coconut oil fatty acids and propylene glycol, serving as a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emollient. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying properties, skin compatibility, and ability to enhance the texture and stability of formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking high-performance, bio-based raw materials.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier, emollient, and texture enhancer in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup products.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a lubricity additive and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic lubricants.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Used as a softening agent, lubricant, and finishing agent for fibers and leather goods.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Serves as a surfactant and emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading and adhesion.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Employed as a degreasing agent and emulsifier in hard surface cleaners and detergents.
• Plastic & Polymer Additives: Acts as an internal and external lubricant and anti-static agent in polymer processing.
