Description

Aluminium Trihexacosanoate is a metallic soap of hexacosanoic acid, a long-chain fatty acid. This compound is valued for its hydrophobic and thickening properties, making it a functional additive in various industrial formulations. It is primarily utilized in the production of lubricants, greases, and as a rheology modifier in coatings and polymer systems.

Application

• As a thickening and gelling agent in high-temperature lubricating greases.
• As a hydrophobic agent and water repellent in protective coatings and paints.
• As a rheology modifier and anti-settling agent in specialty inks and pigment pastes.
• As a processing aid and release agent in polymer and rubber compounding.
• As a component in corrosion-inhibiting formulations for metal surfaces.
• As a stabilizer and consistency provider in cosmetic and personal care sticks (e.g., deodorants).
