Product Functional Category and Applications

1. Shampoo & Personal Care Industry

This product is widely used in daily chemical formulations such as shampoos, bath gels, moisturizers, and high-end liquid detergents. It has excellent thickening, foam stabilizing, and appearance-improving effects, enhancing the product's smoothness and gloss. When using a cold-mixing process, to ensure a uniform and stable pearlescent effect, the pearl flakes must be pre-prepared into a pearlescent paste before being added to the system.

2. Pharmaceutical Industry

In pharmaceutical production, this product can be used as a pearlescent dispersant, solubilizer, and lubricant to improve the uniformity, dissolution, and processing performance of formulations. It is suitable for various external or daily chemical drug processing scenarios.

3. Metal & Fiber Processing Industry

This product can be used as a lubricant and solubilizer in metalworking fluids to improve system stability and processing smoothness; in the field of fiber processing, it exhibits good dispersibility and compatibility, and can improve the effect of spinning, post-processing and other processes.
