Description

n-[2-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)Propyl]Stearamide is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from stearic acid and a hydrophilic ethoxylated propylamine chain. This compound matters for its excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties, making it a versatile additive in formulations requiring a balance of hydrophilicity and lipophilicity. It is needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking to improve product texture, stability, and performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and thickener in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor, enhancing the stability and performance of water-based lubricant formulations.
• Textile & Fiber Processing: Used as a softener and antistatic agent to improve the handle and processing of synthetic and natural fibers.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Serves as a surfactant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve wetting, spreading, and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing agent and flow aid to ensure uniform pigment distribution and smooth application.
• Plastics & Polymers: Utilized as an internal and external lubricant and anti-static agent during polymer processing and molding.
