Description

Ethylene Glycol Monoricinoleate is a versatile non-ionic surfactant and emollient derived from ricinoleic acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, lubricating, and solubilizing properties in a wide range of industrial and cosmetic formulations. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the personal care, plastics, and textile industries seeking effective, bio-based chemical intermediates.

Application

• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a non-irritating emollient, emulsifier, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and makeup products.
• Polymer & Plastics Industry: Used as a lubricant and internal mold release agent in the production of PVC and other polymers.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a softening agent and lubricant for fibers and yarns, improving processability and hand feel.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a lubricity additive and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting and grinding fluids.
• Industrial Lubricants & Greases: Employed as a tackifier and thickening agent to enhance the adhesive properties and stability of lubricating greases.
• Agricultural Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
