  • Applications

    N-(1-Hydroxymethyl-1-methyl-2-stearoyloxyethyl)stearamide (CAS 60209-70-3) is typically used as a specialty additive in cosmetics and personal care, acting as a surfactant, emulsifier, and conditioning agent to help stabilize creams, lotions, and oil-based formulations while contributing softening properties. In coatings and inks, it serves as a surfactant and wetting agent to improve leveling, pigment dispersion, and film formation. In polymers and plastics, it can act as a processing aid, lubricating additive, or compatibilizer for fatty-acid–based systems, aiding blending and flow. In cleaning and detergents, it can function as a surfactant to enhance cleaning performance and stabilize formulations. As an amide derived from stearic acid, it is also evaluated as an intermediate for the synthesis of specialty surfactants and cosmetic ingredients, with uses dictated by formulation requirements and regulatory constraints.
