Description

Isotridecyl Palmitate is a high-purity ester synthesized from palmitic acid and isotridecyl alcohol. This compound serves as a versatile, non-greasy emollient and lubricant, valued for its excellent oxidative stability and skin compatibility. It is essential for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and specialty lubricants industries seeking high-performance, low-irritancy ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a premium emollient and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup products.
• Hair Care Formulations: Used as a glossing agent and conditioner in shampoos, conditioners, and hair styling products to reduce tackiness.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Serves as a base or carrier in ointments, creams, and topical drug delivery systems due to its excellent skin feel.
• Industrial Lubricants: Functions as a synthetic base oil or additive in specialty lubricants and metalworking fluids requiring high stability.
• Plasticizer & Processing Aid: Employed as a secondary plasticizer and internal lubricant in polymer processing to improve flexibility and mold release.
• Textile & Fiber Treatment: Used as a softening and lubricating agent for synthetic fibers and textiles.
