How is PEG-3 oleamide made?
The production of PEG-3 Oleamide involves a carefully controlled chemical process that combines oleic acid and polyethylene glycol. This process begins by heating oleic acid, a fatty acid often derived from vegetable oils, in the presence of PEG. The reaction between these two components produces Amide OMV-3, which is then purified to ensure the desired properties and quality.
The function of amide OMV-3
Amide OMV-3 offers numerous advantages due to its versatile action in various applications. As an emulsifier, it helps stabilize mixtures of oil and water, creating a homogeneous consistency in products such as lotions and creams. In addition, it acts as a thickener, resulting in improved viscosity of liquids. This makes Amide OMV-3 particularly useful in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
