Description

Diethylene Glycol Monooleate is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from oleic acid and diethylene glycol. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and lubricating properties in a wide range of industrial formulations. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the personal care, textile, metalworking, and polymer industries seeking to improve product stability and performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an effective emulsifier and opacifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing a smooth texture and stable emulsions.
• Textile Processing: Used as a lubricant, softener, and antistatic agent in fiber and yarn manufacturing to reduce friction and improve processability.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a key emulsifier and lubricity additive in soluble oils and synthetic coolants, enhancing tool life and surface finish.
• Polymer & Plastics: Functions as an internal lubricant and antistatic agent in PVC and other polymer processing, aiding in mold release and improving flow properties.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as an emulsifier and spreader in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to ensure uniform coverage and efficacy.
• Industrial Cleaners: Utilized in degreasers and heavy-duty cleaning formulations for its surfactant properties and ability to emulsify oils.
