Description

Aluminium Laurate is a metallic soap of lauric acid, widely recognized for its role as a versatile hydrophobic agent and stabilizer. This compound is valued for its ability to impart water repellency and modify the rheological properties of various formulations. It serves as a critical functional additive for manufacturers in the plastics, coatings, and personal care industries seeking to enhance product performance and durability.

Application

• Plastic Additive: Acts as a lubricant and acid scavenger in PVC and other polymer processing, improving flow and surface finish.
• Waterproofing Agent: Imparts hydrophobic properties to textiles, papers, and construction materials like concrete and gypsum board.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Used as a viscosity modifier, opacifier, and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and antiperspirant sticks.
• Paint & Coating Additive: Functions as a flatting agent and suspension aid to prevent settling of pigments and improve film properties.
• Grease & Lubricant Thickener: Serves as a component in the formulation of certain non-soap thickened greases.
• Corrosion Inhibitor: Provides protective properties in coatings and treatments for metals.

Quality Control

Our Aluminium Laurate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, chemical identity, and physical properties. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting assay, heavy metal content, loss on drying, and other critical parameters 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). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality.
