Description

Peg 400 Dilaurate is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from polyethylene glycol (PEG 400) and lauric acid. This compound is valued for its excellent solubilizing, lubricating, and conditioning properties in a wide range of industrial formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking stable, high-performance emulsions and delivery systems.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary emulsifier, solubilizer, and skin-conditioning agent in creams, lotions, ointments, and hair care products.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a non-ionic surfactant and co-solvent in topical drug delivery systems, enhancing the solubility of active pharmaceutical ingredients.
• Industrial Lubricants & Release Agents: Serves as a lubricant and mold release agent in plastic, rubber, and metalworking processes.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a softening agent, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber and yarn treatment.
• Food-Grade Applications (where compliant): Employed as an emulsifier and dispersant in certain food packaging materials and processing aids.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used as a component in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve wetting, spreading, and penetration.
