Description

N,n-Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Stearamide is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from stearic acid and diethanolamine. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent thickening, stabilizing, and conditioning properties across multiple industrial sectors. It is a critical ingredient for formulators in the personal care, textile, and polymer industries seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier, thickener, and opacifier in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners, providing a rich, creamy texture.
• Textile Processing: Used as a softener, lubricant, and anti-static agent for synthetic fibers and fabrics, improving handle and processability.
• Polymer & Plastics: Functions as an internal and external lubricant, anti-static agent, and mold release agent in PVC, polyolefins, and other polymer processing.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in soluble oils and synthetic coolants.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Industrial Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers and cleaning formulations for its emulsifying and surfactant properties.
