MAIN USES:

Palmitic acid is a kind of high saturated fatty acid, which has a wide range of applications and uses.

1. The production of cable materials

Palmitic acid is a commonly used additive, which can play a role in brightening and increasing strength in cable materials. At the same time, zinc palmitate is also one of the common components of the production of cable electrical materials. Therefore, palmitic acid and zinc are commonly used in the production of cable materials.

2. Lubrication

The use of palmitic acid in lubricants is to increase the hardness and strength of wax, and to promote the burning time of wax. Its use in cosmetics is as a lubricant, which can play a lubricating and emulsifying role.

3. Emulsifying effect

Emulsification is an important application in cosmetics, which can mix palmitic acid in the oil-water phase system with other ingredients to form a stable milky texture.

4. Surface brightener

Palmitic acid is widely used in cosmetics as a surface brightener to increase the gloss and brightness of cosmetics.

5. Preservatives

Palmitic acid can be used as a preservative to improve the properties of the coating layer, and also has a role in coatings and spray paint. In addition, palmitic acid can also be used as a surface brightener.
