Description

n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-Stearamide Isopropanolamide is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from stearic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent thickening, foam stabilizing, and conditioning properties in aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of personal care products, industrial cleaners, and textile processing aids where stable emulsions and rich viscosity are required.

Application

• As a primary viscosity builder and opacifier in shampoos, liquid soaps, and shower gels.
• As a pearlizing agent and emulsion stabilizer in cosmetic creams and lotions.
• As a thickening and lubricating agent in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations.
• As a softener and antistatic agent in textile finishing and fiber processing.
• As a co-emulsifier and dispersant in agricultural chemical formulations.
• As a conditioning agent in hair care products to improve manageability and feel.
