Description

Peg-5 Oleate is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from oleic acid and polyethylene glycol. This compound is valued for its excellent solubilizing, dispersing, and conditioning properties in a wide range of formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, textile, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking effective and versatile surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an effective emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners, providing a smooth texture and stable formulations.
• Textile Processing: Used as a lubricant, softener, and antistatic agent in fiber and yarn manufacturing to improve processing and final fabric hand-feel.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a lubricity additive and emulsifier, enhancing the performance and stability of cutting oils and rolling oils.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Serves as a surfactant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve wetting, spreading, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Plastics & Polymers: Employed as an internal or external lubricant and anti-static agent in polymer processing to aid flow and mold release.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Utilized as a degreaser and emulsifier in hard surface cleaners and detergent formulations for effective soil removal.

Quality Control

Our Peg-5 Oleate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, acid value, hydroxyl value, and saponification value are provided to guarantee consistent quality and traceability for your production needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to preserve product integrity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
