Description

Aluminum, Benzoate C16-18-Fatty Acids Hydroxy Complexes is a specialized organometallic complex designed for high-performance applications requiring controlled reactivity and stability. This compound is valued for its unique combination of aluminum's properties with the hydrophobic and film-forming characteristics of long-chain fatty acid benzoates. It serves as a critical functional additive in industries such as personal care, coatings, and polymer processing, where it acts as a stabilizer, thickener, or rheology modifier. Global manufacturers rely on this material for its consistent quality and ability to enhance product performance under demanding conditions.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a stabilizer and opacifying agent in deodorants, antiperspirants, and creams.
• Coatings & Inks: Used as a rheology modifier and anti-settling agent to improve texture and application properties.
• Polymer Additive: Functions as a heat stabilizer and lubricant in PVC and other polymer processing.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Enhances thixotropy and improves sag resistance in formulations.
• Lubricant Greases: Serves as a thickening agent and provides structural stability.
• Industrial Preservatives: Utilized in certain wood treatment and preservation formulations.

Quality Control

Our Aluminum, Benzoate C16-18-Fatty Acids Hydroxy Complexes is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for metal content, acidity, and physical properties. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and heavy metal limits. We adhere to industry best practices and can support compliance documentation for relevant global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation. Keep away from strong acids, strong bases, and oxidizing agents.
