Cetyl Stearate (CAS 1190-63-2)
QUICK LINKS
Cetyl stearate, a long-chain fatty acid ester, frequently finds use in the cosmetics sector and various industries. It presents as a white, waxy solid, insoluble in water yet dissolvable in other organic solvents. Its applications are diverse, serving as an emulsifier, lubricant, and stabilizer in numerous products, and it′s often used as a surfactant and thickener in creams, lotions, and a range of cosmetics. Further uses extend to food products and other industrial applications. It′s been employed as a standard compound in the investigation of the structure and traits of fatty acid esters, and as a surfactant in studies exploring surfactants′ interaction with proteins and other macromolecules. It′s also been used in research focused on the structure and properties of lipid membranes. As a surfactant, cetyl stearate can diminish the surface tension of a liquid, thereby enhancing its solubility. When functioning as an emulsifier, it can stabilize an emulsion by forming a protective layer around the dispersed phase droplets, hindering their coalescence. Additionally, cetyl stearate can reduce friction between surfaces, acting as a lubricant.
