Description

Glycol Oleate is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from oleic acid and ethylene glycol. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent lubricity, softening properties, and ability to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers in the personal care, textile, metalworking, and plastics industries seeking effective, multifunctional ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an opacifier, pearlescent agent, and emollient in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Textile Processing: Used as a softener, lubricant, and anti-static agent for synthetic fibers and natural fabrics.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as a lubricity additive and emulsifier in soluble oils and drawing compounds.
• Plastics & Polymers: Functions as an internal and external lubricant and mold release agent in PVC and other polymer processing.
• Industrial Cleaning: Employed as a surfactant and degreaser in heavy-duty industrial and institutional cleaner formulations.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used as an emulsifier and spreading agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
