Description

1-Octadecanol, Phosphate, Potassium Salt is an organophosphate salt derived from stearyl alcohol, valued for its surfactant and emulsifying properties. This compound is essential for formulating stable, high-performance products that require effective wetting and dispersion. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial lubricant, and agrochemical sectors for its reliable performance as an anionic surfactant and corrosion inhibitor.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and opacifying agent in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and anti-wear additive, providing surface protection.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a wetting agent and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Textile Processing: Used as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber treatment and finishing baths.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing aid to improve pigment stability and grind in water-based systems.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Utilized as a defoamer component and processing aid.

Quality Control

Our 1-Octadecanol, Phosphate, Potassium Salt is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, composition, and performance. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, pH, and moisture content is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
