Usage

Description

Diethylene glycol monooleate is a self-dispersing surface-active agent that functions as an emulsifier in various formulations. It is a liquid compound with the ability to act as a w/o (water-in-oil) or o/w (oil-in-water) emulsifier, often used in conjunction with auxiliary agents. This versatile ingredient is particularly well-suited for use in mineral oil systems, making it a valuable component in a range of industries.

Uses

Used in Cosmetics Industry:
Diethylene glycol monooleate is used as an emulsifying agent in cosmetics for its ability to stabilize formulations and create smooth textures. It helps in blending oil and water components, which is essential for creating effective and aesthetically pleasing cosmetic products.
Used in Coatings Industry:
In the coatings industry, diethylene glycol monooleate is used as a surfactant to improve the dispersion and stability of coatings. Its emulsifying properties allow for the creation of coatings with uniform consistency and enhanced performance.
Used in Paints Industry:
Diethylene glycol monooleate is used as an emulsifier in paint formulations to ensure the proper mixing of ingredients and to maintain the stability of the paint. This contributes to improved application and durability of the paint on various surfaces.
Used in Inks Industry:
In the ink industry, diethylene glycol monooleate is used as a surfactant to facilitate the dispersion of pigments and other components in ink formulations. Its emulsifying properties help in creating inks with consistent color and flow characteristics, which are crucial for high-quality printing.
