PEG 200 MONO OLEATE
CAS Number:
CAS 9004-96-0
PEG 200 monooleate is an ester of polyethylene glycol and oleic acid, obtained through the controlled esterification of PEG-4 (with an average molecular weight of 200) with oleic acid. This amber-colored oily liquid is known for its ability as an emulsifier and dispersing agent, with a hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of 8, making it ideal for systems that require stability in cosmetic and industrial formulations.
Its low free acid content ensures compatibility with sensitive ingredients, while its chemical structure promotes the dispersion of particles in lipophilic media.
