Product Name:
Castor Oil Ethoxylate (CAS 61791-12-6), PEG-40 Nonionic Surfactant and Emulsifier
Product Description:
Castor Oil Ethoxylate (CAS 61791-12-6) is a nonionic surfactant obtained by ethoxylating castor oil, typically with approximately 40 moles of ethylene oxide. It appears as a pale yellow to amber viscous liquid, with excellent solubility in water and alcohol, and forms stable emulsions in various formulations.
Thanks to its outstanding emulsifying, solubilizing, dispersing, and wetting properties, Castor Oil Ethoxylate is widely used in personal care formulations (such as shampoos, creams, and lotions), household and industrial detergents, textile auxiliaries, and agrochemical emulsifier systems. It helps improve formulation stability, enhance active ingredient dispersion, and deliver smooth product textures.
The product is available in various ethoxylation levels (e.g., PEG-20, PEG-40, PEG-80) depending on the desired HLB value and application. It is produced under strict quality standards to ensure consistency and safety.
