Description

Peg-5 Cocoate CAS NO 61791-29-5 is a non-ionic surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids and polyethylene glycol. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, solubilizing, and conditioning properties, making it a key ingredient in formulations requiring mildness and stability. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective, biodegradable surface-active agents.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in cosmetic creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Key surfactant in mild personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Solubilizing agent for fragrances, essential oils, and other lipophilic compounds in aqueous systems.
• Conditioning agent in hair care formulations to impart softness and manageability.
• Emulsifier and lubricant in textile processing and fiber conditioning applications.
• Component in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations for degreasing and wetting.
• Base ingredient for the synthesis of more complex ester derivatives.
• Additive in agricultural adjuvant formulations to enhance pesticide delivery and spreading.
