Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-(1-Oxododecyl)-.Omega.-Methoxy- is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the polyethylene glycol (PEG) ester family, specifically a PEG laurate. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and solubilizing properties, making it a versatile processing aid and formulation component. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries to stabilize emulsions, modify viscosity, and enhance the delivery of active ingredients.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: Acts as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and ointments.
• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used in topical drug delivery systems to enhance the solubility and stability of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Serves as a wetting agent, emulsifier, or dispersant in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a non-foaming emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a lubricant and antistatic agent in fiber production and finishing.
• Paints & Coatings: Used as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers to improve consistency and application properties.
