Usage

Uses

Used in Cosmetics and Personal Care Industry:
TRIETHANOLAMINE LAURATE is used as a surfactant and emulsifier for its ability to stabilize and blend water and oil-based ingredients in products such as lotions, creams, and makeup. It helps to create smooth, creamy textures and provides mild cleansing properties, enhancing the overall performance and feel of these products.
Used in pH Adjustment:
In the formulation of cosmetic and personal care products, TRIETHANOLAMINE LAURATE is used as a pH adjuster to regulate the product's acidity or alkalinity. This ensures that the product maintains an optimal pH level, which is crucial for both the product's effectiveness and the comfort of the user's skin.
Used in Texture Creation:
TRIETHANOLAMINE LAURATE is utilized in the creation of product textures, providing a smooth and creamy consistency that is desirable in many cosmetic and personal care products. Its emulsifying properties allow for the even distribution of ingredients, leading to a more pleasant and effective product application.

Phase Behavior and Physical Properties of New Biobased Ionic Liquid Crystals

Protic ionic liquids (PILs) have emerged as promising compounds and attracted the interest of the industry and the academy community, due to their easy preparation and unique properties. In the context of green chemistry, the use of biocompounds, such as fatty acids, for their synthesis could disclose a possible alternative way to produce ILs with a low or nontoxic effect and, consequently, expanding their applicability in biobased processes or in the development of bioproducts. This work addressed efforts to a better comprehension of the complex solid-[liquid crystal]-liquid thermodynamic equilibrium of 20 new PILs synthesized by using fatty acids commonly found in vegetable oils, as well as their rheological profile and self-assembling ability. The work revealed that their phase equilibrium and physical properties are significantly impacted by the structure of the ions used for their synthesis. The use of unsaturated fatty acids and bis(2-hydroxyethyl)ammonium for the synthesis of these biobased ILs led to a drastic decreasing of their melting temperatures. Also, the longest alkyl chain fatty acids promoted higher self-assembling and more stable mesophases. Besides their sustainable appeal, the marked high viscosity, non-Newtonian profile, and very low critical micellar concentration values of the PIL crystals here disclosed make them interesting renewable compounds with potential applications as emulsifiers, stabilizers, thickeners, or biolubricants.
