Description

Glycolamide Stearate is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from stearic acid and glycolamide. This compound is valued for its ability to stabilize formulations and modify the texture and consistency of various products. It serves as a key functional ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial sectors seeking reliable performance and formulation compatibility.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an opacifier, pearlescent agent, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and shampoos.
• Emulsion Stabilizer: Used in oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions to prevent phase separation and enhance product shelf life.
• Textile & Fiber Processing: Functions as a softening agent and lubricant in fiber treatments and fabric conditioners.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Employed as a component in mold release formulations and specialty lubricants.
• Pharmaceutical Auxiliary: Can be utilized as an emulsifying or consistency-providing agent in topical ointments and creams.
• Cleaning Product Additive: Enhances the viscosity and stability of liquid soaps and hard surface cleaners.

Quality Control

Our Glycolamide Stearate is produced and tested under a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is analyzed to ensure it meets defined specifications for identity, purity, and performance characteristics. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

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). As the material is easily oxidized, it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize contact with air after opening.
