Function:
Emulsification function: Cetyl alcohol has a certain surface activity, which can reduce the surface tension of the oil-water interface, so that the oil phase and the water phase are evenly mixed to form a stable emulsion system. It is often used as an emulsifier or emulsification aid.
Thickening function: It can increase the viscosity of the formula system of cosmetics, medicines, etc., adjust the rheological properties of the product, make it have a suitable consistency and texture, and facilitate use and application.
Application:
Skin care products: widely used in skin care products such as creams, lotions, and facial cleansers.
Plasticizer: As a type of plasticizer, it can increase the flexibility, plasticity, and processing performance of plastics, making plastics easier to shape and process, and improving the quality and service life of plastic products. It is often used in the production of plastics such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
Textile industry: It can be used as a textile auxiliary agent for the softening of fabrics, making the fabrics soft and smooth, and improving the quality and wearing comfort of the fabrics.
