Isostearic Acid
Industrial Applications
Isostearic Acid is a branched-chain fatty acid widely used in cosmetic, personal care, and industrial formulations. It serves as an emollient, emulsifier, dispersing agent, solubilizer, and lubricant, making it ideal for use in shaving products, creams, lotions, and other skincare formulations. In industrial settings, Isostearic Acid is valued for its oxidative stability and is used in lubricants, metalworking fluids, and corrosion inhibitors.
Physical Properties
Isostearic Acid is a clear to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents and oils. The branched structure of Isostearic Acid provides enhanced stability and fluidity compared to straight-chain fatty acids.
