Description

2-[2-(2-Hydroxyethoxy)Ethoxy]Ethyl Oleate is a non-ionic, ethoxylated ester surfactant derived from oleic acid. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent emulsifying, solubilizing, and conditioning properties, making it a key component in sophisticated formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating stable, high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a premium emollient, solubilizer, and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, sunscreens, and makeup products.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a non-irritating solubilizer and penetration enhancer for topical drug delivery systems and ointments.
• Industrial Lubricants & Additives: Serves as a biodegradable lubricant base and an additive to improve the performance of metalworking fluids and synthetic lubricants.
• Polymer & Plastic Additives: Functions as an internal or external lubricant and plasticizer in PVC and other polymer processing applications.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a softening agent and lubricant for fibers and yarns to improve processability and hand feel.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, wetting, and absorption on plant surfaces.
