Triceteareth-4 Phosphate (119415-05-3) (1360 g/mol)

Triceteareth-4 Phosphate is an anionic phosphate ester surfactant derived from ethoxylated fatty alcohols and phosphoric acid. It appears as a White powder and shows good compatibility with both oil and water phases depending on formulation. The compound provides strong emulsifying, dispersing, and stabilizing properties, along with good skin-feel improvement in personal care systems. It is chemically stable under normal storage conditions and works effectively in a wide pH range.
In applications, Triceteareth-4 Phosphate is widely used in the cosmetics and personal care industry as an emulsifier in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and hair care products, especially where stable oil-in-water emulsions are required. It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as a formulation aid in topical preparations. In the industrial sector, it is applied in specialty coatings, detergents, and surfactant systems as a dispersing and emulsifying agent. Overall, it is a high-performance phosphate-based surfactant used to enhance stability, texture, and emulsification in advanced formulations.
