  • Applications

    2-Amino-2-oxoethyl stearate, CAS 16509-77-6, is a fatty ester primarily used in cosmetics and personal care applications as a functionalized fatty ester that acts as an emollient and a surface-active component, contributing to emulsification and stabilization in formulations. It is also considered an intermediate for the synthesis of polymer and resin formulations, enabling crosslinking with amine or other reactive groups in polyurethane and epoxy systems. In cleaning and household products, the fatty ester can function as a surfactant or dispersing solvent, aiding emulsification and dispersion of hydrophobic ingredients. It can be used as an additive or lubricant-like component in coatings and inks to improve processability, stability, and adhesion. In industrial manufacturing, it may serve as a starting material for the synthesis of specialty chemicals, depending on formulation requirements and regulatory constraints.
