Description

Fatty Acids, C14-18 And C16-18-Unsatd., Esters With Ethylene Glycol CAS NO 85736-49-8 is a synthetic ester derived from a blend of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids, primarily from coconut or palm oil sources, reacted with ethylene glycol. This compound serves as a versatile, non-ionic intermediate and emollient, prized for its ability to modify viscosity, improve lubricity, and enhance texture in formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking sustainable, plant-derived performance ingredients.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Emollient: Used in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners to provide a smooth, non-greasy skin feel and improve spreadability.
• Plasticizer & Lubricant: Functions as an internal lubricant and processing aid in polymer and plastic manufacturing to reduce friction and improve flow.
• Textile Auxiliary: Employed as a softener and lubricant in fiber processing and fabric finishing to enhance handle and reduce static.
• Metalworking Fluid Component: Acts as a lubricity agent and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting and grinding fluids.
• Pigment & Filler Dispersant: Aids in the wetting and dispersion of solid particles in coatings, inks, and masterbatch production.
• Industrial Grease Formulation: Serves as a thickening agent and performance additive in biodegradable and specialty grease formulations.
