Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-2-(9Z,12Z)-1-Oxo-9,12-Octadecadienylaminoethyl-.Omega.-Hydroxy- is a specialized non-ionic surfactant derived from linoleic acid and polyethylene glycol. This compound matters for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and solubilizing properties, making it a critical performance additive in complex formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking stable, high-quality emulsions and delivery systems.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and stabilizer in cosmetic creams, lotions, and sunscreens.
• Solubilizing agent for fragrances, essential oils, and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Key component in advanced drug delivery systems, including microemulsions and nanoemulsions.
• Dispersing aid for pigments and actives in color cosmetics and topical formulations.
• Surfactant base for mild, low-irritation cleansing products and shampoos.
• Industrial applications in textile processing, agrochemical formulations, and polymer additives.

Quality Control

Our production of PEG Linoleamide adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified through comprehensive testing, including assay, residual ethylene oxide, and heavy metal analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and compliance with relevant specifications is provided with every shipment. We support customers requiring compliance with GMP, ISO, and REACH standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
