Function:
Surface activity: Ricinoleic acid has a certain surface activity, which can reduce the surface tension of liquids, making it a raw material for surfactants in some applications, playing the role of emulsification, dispersion, wetting, etc. Lubricity: The molecular structure contains long-chain fatty acids, which have good lubrication properties, can reduce friction and wear, and are often used in the preparation of lubricants.
Application:
Cosmetics and personal care: In cosmetics, ricinoleic acid and its derivatives are often used in skin care products, lipsticks, hair care products, etc.
Plastics and rubber: In the plastics industry, ricinoleic acid can be used as a plasticizer to increase the flexibility and processing properties of plastics.
Coatings and inks: Ricinoleic acid and its derivatives can be used in the production of coatings and inks.
Ricinoleic acid can also be used to prepare fragrances, pesticide emulsifiers, textile finishing agents and other products.
