How is PEG-7 oleamide made?
PEG-7 Oleamide is produced by a chemical process involving the reaction of oleic acid with ethylene glycol. This reaction results in the formation of an Amide, which is then alkylated to achieve the desired properties. The process involves several steps where the compounds are carefully controlled to ensure the correct ratios and quality. The final product, PEG-7 Oleamide, is a clear, viscous liquid that is readily soluble in water.
The function of amide OMV-7
Amide OMV-7 functions as an excellent emulsifier and stabilizer. In emulsions, it helps to mix oil and water, resulting in a homogeneous and stable formulation. This makes it ideal for use in cosmetics such as lotions and creams, where a smooth texture and long-term stability are desired. In addition, Amide OMV-7 has antistatic properties, which is why it is also widely used in hair care products. It helps to reduce static electricity and make hair more manageable. Furthermore, it has a mild foaming property, which also makes it suitable for use in shampoos and cleansers.
PEG-7 oleamide in various industries
PEG-7 Oleamide finds its application in various industries, including the cosmetic and technical industries.
In the cosmetic sector, it is used in skin and hair care products for its emulsifying and stabilizing properties. It helps create a smooth texture in lotions, creams and shampoos, which improves the user experience. In addition, PEG-7 Oleamide has antistatic properties, which makes hair more manageable and less static.
In the technical industry, PEG-7 Oleamide is also widely used, where it serves as a functional additive in various applications, such as coatings and lubricants. It contributes to improved performance and stability of products in this sector.
