Description

Polyethylene glycol lauryl ether (CAS 6540-99-4 ) is a nonionic surfactant used across industrial and personal care formulations for emulsification, foam control, and cleaning. It functions as both a surface-active agent and a carrier solvent. This versatile chemical enables the stable dispersion of oils, pigments, and actives in aqueous systems. In personal care and cosmetics, it emulsifies oil-in-water systems in creams, lotions, and cleansing products. The compound contributes significantly to texture and ingredient compatibility in high-end formulations. Textile and leather processing operations use it to improve dye penetration and as a scouring agent to remove oils. It effectively removes contaminants from fiber surfaces during industrial manufacturing. In printing and packaging, it supports ink dispersion and acts as a defoamer in coating formulations where foam buildup disrupts quality. Water treatment applications rely on it as a defoaming and dispersing agent in process water circuits. Polyethylene glycol lauryl ether is supplied as a liquid or paste, depending on the ethoxylation degree. Grades are available for industrial and personal care applications, with cosmetic-grade material meeting relevant purity standards for formulation use. Drum and IBC packaging are standard supply formats for bulk procurement. Contact us for supply of Polyethylene glycol lauryl ether Request Quote
