Chemical Properties Of Polyhydroxystearic Acid Cas 58128-22-6

Polyhydroxystearic acid (PHSA) is a homopolymer of 12-hydroxystearic acid, primarily existing in the form of dimers and trimers (accounting for 70–85%). Its chemical name is poly(12-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid), MF: (C₁₈H₃₆O₃) MW: 300.48. It typically appears as an amber to brown viscous liquid or waxy solid and possesses excellent dispersibility, emulsifying properties, and film-forming capabilities. Widely used in cosmetics, coatings, lubricants, and other fields, it is a plant-derived, eco-friendly, multifunctional additive.

Product Application Of Polyhydroxystearic Acid Cas 58128-22-6

  1. Cosmetics & Personal Care:
    – Specialized dispersant for sunscreens and color cosmetics: Disperses titanium dioxide and color pigments, prevents agglomeration and sedimentation, improves skin feel, and reduces white cast in sunscreens;
    – Emulsifying stabilizer for creams, lipsticks, and foundations: Regulates system viscosity, prevents oil-water separation, and enhances film-forming, moisturizing, and smoothness properties;
    Suitable for silicone-free and mild hair and skin care formulations as a skin feel modifier.
  2. Pharmaceutical Sector:
    Polyhydroxystearic Acid is used as an emulsifying base for topical ointments and creams, as well as a drug dispersant; also serves as an excipient in sustained-release formulations to enhance drug permeability and stability.
  3. Industrial Additives:
    – Coatings and Inks: Pigment dispersion, leveling, and anti-settling; improves film gloss and uniformity;
    – Plastics and Rubber: Internal and external lubricants, release agents; improves processing flowability and enhances product surface finish;
    – Textiles, leather, and lubricants: It is used as softeners, dispersants, and lubrication-modifying additives.
