  • Applications

    Oleyl palmitamide (CAS 16260-09-6) is commonly used as a conditioning agent and emollient in cosmetics and personal care, helping soften and condition hair and skin; it also functions as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in formulations for coatings, inks, and cleaning products; in the plastics and polymer sector it serves as a lubricant or processing aid to improve processability and surface properties; in industrial manufacturing and metalworking fluids it can act as a lubricant/slip additive to reduce friction; and it may be evaluated as a chemical intermediate or formulation aid in the synthesis of cosmetic ingredients, paints, and adhesives.
