Description

Polyoxyethylatedcastoroil CAS NO 60649-23-2 is a nonionic surfactant derived from castor oil through ethoxylation, creating a versatile and effective emulsifying and solubilizing agent. This chemical is valued for its ability to form stable emulsions and enhance the solubility of various compounds in aqueous systems. It is a critical component for formulators in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and agrochemical industries seeking reliable performance and biocompatibility.

Application

• As a primary emulsifier and solubilizer in topical pharmaceutical creams, ointments, and lotions.
• In cosmetic formulations for creams, lotions, and makeup to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions.
• As a wetting and dispersing agent in agricultural chemical formulations for pesticides and herbicides.
• In textile processing as a lubricant, softener, and dye-leveling agent.
• As an emulsifier in the production of industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids.
• In the food industry as an emulsifier for specific food-grade applications (subject to appropriate purity grades).
• As a component in specialty cleaning products and detergent formulations.
