Uses/Applications

Personal Care
Isostearic Acid is widely used in the formulation of personal care products such as cosmetics, skincare, and hair care items. It functions as an emollient, moisturizer, and lubricant due to its ability to form a protective barrier on the skin, helping to retain moisture and improve the texture of cosmetic products.

Emulsifiers and Surfactants
Isostearic Acid and its derivatives are utilized as emulsifiers and surfactants in cosmetic formulations. They help stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, improve the spreadability of products, and enhance the overall texture and feel of cosmetic formulations such as creams, lotions, and makeup products.

Industrial Lubricants and Metalworking Fluids
Isostearic Acid is employed in the manufacturing of industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids due to its excellent lubricating properties. It acts as a lubricity enhancer, anti-wear additive, and corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids used in machining, cutting, and forming operations.

Polymer Additives
Isostearic Acid and its derivatives are used as additives in the production of polymers and plastics. They function as internal lubricants, processing aids, and viscosity modifiers, improving the flow properties, mold release, and processing efficiency of polymer materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and PVC.

Adhesives and Sealants
Isostearic Acid is incorporated into adhesive and sealant formulations to enhance their tackiness, adhesion strength, and flexibility. It acts as a tackifier and plasticizer, improving the bonding performance and durability of adhesives and sealants used in construction, automotive, and packaging industries.

Paints and Coatings
Isostearic Acid is utilized in the formulation of paints, coatings, and printing inks as a rheology modifier, dispersing agent, and pigment wetting agent. It improves the flow and leveling properties of coatings, enhances pigment dispersion, and contributes to the overall performance and appearance of painted surfaces.

Textile Chemicals
Isostearic Acid finds applications in the textile industry as a softening agent, anti-static agent, and fiber lubricant in textile finishing processes. It imparts softness, smoothness, and anti-static properties to textiles, enhancing their comfort, appearance, and processability.
