Description

2-Hydroxyhexadecyl Dihydrogen Phosphate is a high-purity, long-chain organophosphate compound valued for its surfactant and emulsifying properties. This chemical is essential for formulators requiring precise control over surface tension and stability in complex systems. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for advanced product development.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and surfactant in high-performance cosmetic and personal care formulations (e.g., creams, lotions).
• Key intermediate in the synthesis of specialized agrochemicals, including certain pesticides and adjuvants.
• Additive for improving the dispersion and stability of pigments and fillers in industrial coatings and inks.
• Component in metalworking fluids and lubricants for its anti-corrosion and surface-active characteristics.
• Raw material for producing other phosphate esters with tailored hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) values.
• Used in research and development of novel lipid-based drug delivery systems and pharmaceutical excipients.
