Description

26-Hydroxy-3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24-octaoxahexacos-1-yl laurate is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier belonging to the class of polyethylene glycol (PEG) fatty acid esters. This compound is valued for its excellent solubilizing, wetting, and stabilizing properties in complex formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable performance in emulsion and dispersion systems.

Application

• As a solubilizer and emulsifier in topical pharmaceutical creams, ointments, and lotions.
• As a key surfactant in high-end personal care products, including skin creams, sunscreens, and makeup formulations.
• As a dispersing agent for pigments, dyes, and active ingredients in industrial and cosmetic applications.
• As a stabilizing excipient in drug delivery systems to enhance the bioavailability of poorly soluble APIs.
• As a lubricant and processing aid in the production of polymers and specialty plastics.
• As a formulation component in agrochemicals for improved pesticide and herbicide efficacy.
• As a intermediate for the synthesis of more complex, functionalized surfactants and esters.
