  • Applications

    Aluminum dicetyl phosphate (CAS 26527-54-8) is used as a surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetics and personal care formulations, and can function as a rheology modifier or thickener for emulsions and gel systems; in coatings and inks, it may act as a wetting and surface-balancing agent to improve pigment dispersion and film formation; in polymers and plastics, it can serve as a processing aid or lubricating additive to facilitate mixing and reduce friction; in adhesive formulations, it can act as a compatibilizer to improve adhesion between polar and nonpolar components.
