  • Applications

    Diethylene glycol monoricinoleate (CAS 5401-17-2) is commonly used as a nonionic surfactant and emollient in cosmetic and personal care formulations, providing conditioning, emulsification, and improved spreadability; it also serves as a surfactant/emulsifier in household cleaning products; in industrial manufacturing it acts as a plasticizer and processing aid for polymers and coatings, and as a lubricating or viscosity-modifying additive in formulation systems.
