  • Applications

    Diethylene glycol monooleate (CAS 106-12-7) is a nonionic fatty ester used primarily as a surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations, where it also serves as an emollient. It is employed as a processing aid and plasticizer in certain polymers and resins to improve flexibility and handling. In coatings, inks and adhesives, it acts as a wetting agent and pigment dispersant, aiding stabilization and film formation. It is also used in household and industrial cleaning products as a surfactant and solvent, helping to solubilize oils and soils. In industrial manufacturing, it may be used as a specialty solvent or coupling agent and as a component in lubricant/additive packages.
