Description

Ammonium Linoleate is the ammonium salt of linoleic acid, a key unsaturated fatty acid. This compound is valued for its surfactant and emulsifying properties, making it a versatile component in formulations requiring effective dispersion and surface activity. It is primarily utilized in industries such as personal care, coatings, and industrial lubricants where its anionic character and compatibility are advantageous.

Application

• As an emulsifier and surfactant in cosmetic and personal care products like creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• As a dispersing agent and stabilizer in the formulation of paints, coatings, and inks.
• As a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity additive in industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• In the production of soaps and cleansing agents where mildness and foaming characteristics are desired.
• As a processing aid and release agent in various polymer and rubber manufacturing processes.
• In agricultural formulations as an adjuvant or wetting agent for pesticides and herbicides.
