Polyethylene glycol monolaurate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Liquid

Uses

Pegosperse(R) 600 ML is a high HLB surfactant, nonionic and compatible with cationic, amphoteric, anionic and nonionic surface active agents. It is used as emulsifier for personal care and water treatment and as processing aid in textile industry.

Uses

Polyethylene glycol monolaurate is a surfactant, detergent, and emulsifier in cosmetic formulations.

Uses

Polyethylene glycol monolaurate is a versatile, mid HLB range, surface active agent suggested for use in PVC plastisols (viscosity modifier), coatings (defoaming agent), cosmetic formulations (dispersant, emulsifier, emollient) and textiles (emulsifier).
