Description

Linoleic Acid Ethoxylated Monoesters are a class of non-ionic surfactants derived from linoleic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, and ethylene oxide. These versatile compounds are valued for their excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making them crucial for formulating stable and effective products. They are essential raw materials for manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, biodegradable surfactant solutions.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, offering mildness and good skin feel.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve spray coverage and system stability.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a lubricant, softener, and dyeing assistant, enhancing fiber processing and color uniformity.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Functions as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers and emulsifiable cleaners for industrial equipment.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers, improving grind efficiency and final product stability.
• Metalworking Fluids: Used in emulsifiable oils and synthetic coolants for its lubricity and corrosion inhibition properties.
• Polymerization: Can act as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubbers and plastics.
