Description

1-Hexadecyl 3-[2-[[3-Hydroxy-5-(Octadec-9-Enyloxy)-3-[(Octadec-9-Enyloxy)Carbonyl]-5-Oxovaleroyl]Oxy]-1-Methylethyl] 2-Octadecyl Citrate is a high-molecular-weight, multi-functional ester compound derived from citric acid and long-chain fatty alcohols. This specialized chemical serves as a versatile intermediate and functional additive, prized for its ability to modify rheological properties and provide lubrication. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and specialty polymer industries for formulating high-performance products.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a high-efficiency emollient, skin-conditioning agent, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Polymer & Plastic Additive: Functions as an internal lubricant and plasticizer to improve processing and flexibility in specialty polymer compounds.
• Industrial Lubricants & Greases: Serves as a synthetic base oil or thickening agent in high-performance lubricant formulations requiring thermal stability.
• Textile & Fiber Processing: Used as a softening agent and spin finish additive to enhance fiber handling and final fabric feel.
• Adhesive & Sealant Systems: Imparts flexibility and improves adhesion properties in solvent-based and hot-melt adhesive formulations.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a flow and leveling agent to enhance film formation and surface finish.
