Description

Glycolic Acid Ethoxylate Lauryl Ether is a non-ionic surfactant synthesized from lauryl alcohol, ethylene oxide, and glycolic acid, offering a unique combination of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing capabilities, making it a versatile performance additive. It is primarily needed by formulators in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking mild, effective, and multifunctional ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and serums, particularly in products requiring mildness and good skin feel.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Provides superior wetting and grease-cutting power in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and laundry detergents.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring, leveling, and wetting agent in dyeing and finishing operations to ensure uniform color and fabric quality.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and penetration of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces, improving efficacy.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as a surfactant in the production of acrylic, vinyl acetate, and other polymer lattices.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and synthetic coolants.
