AK-S16 Cetyl Phosphate CAS 3539-43-3

(AK-S16 Cetyl Phosphate CAS 3539-43-3)

Overview of AK-S16 Cetyl Phosphate

AK-S16, INCI name Cetyl Phosphate (CAS NO: 3539-43-3), is a long carbon chain phosphate ester commonly used as an emulsifier. In the emulsification process, it is easily soluble in any lotion phase and neutralized by different cations in the phase. This characteristic enables AK-S16 to significantly enhance the stability of lotion and thicken cream and lotion even at a low dosage.

Characteristic of AK-S16 Cetyl Phosphate

1. Emulsification and thickening ability: AK-S16 has excellent emulsification and thickening ability. Even at a lower dosage, it can significantly enhance the stability of lotion and make cream and lotion more dense.

2. Product performance: The cream made from AK-S16 has a white, smooth, and silky texture, with good application effect and no drawing properties. In addition, its performance is stable, and its compatibility is good, which can overcome the imbalance of emulsifier HLB values in different oily systems.

3. Combination with soap-based facial cleanser: Combining AK-S16 and soap-based facial cleanser can improve the instability of soap-based facial cleanser, thereby providing more stable and high-quality facial cleanser products.

Application of AK-S16 Cetyl Phosphate

1.Surfactants and emulsifiers: AK-S16 hexadecyl phosphate can be used as a surfactant to diminish the surface tension of water, making the solution easier to wet and spread. The emulsification process can help mix oil and water to form a stable lotion or emulsion, which is particularly important in the cosmetics, food, and pharmaceutical industries.
