  • Applications

    Diglyceryl monooleate (CAS 97605-97-5) is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier used as a processing aid across multiple sectors. In cosmetics and personal care, it acts as an emollient and stabilizer for oil-in-water emulsions in creams, lotions, and hair products. In coatings and inks, it functions as a wetting agent and dispersant to improve resin compatibility and film formation. In polymers and plastics, it serves as a plasticizer and processing aid to enhance flexibility and processing throughput. In food processing, it may be used as an emulsifier and texturizing additive to stabilize emulsions and improve mouthfeel. In cleaning and household products, it contributes as a surfactant/co-emulsifier to improve cleaning performance and formulation stability. It may also be used as a solubilizer or excipient in pharmaceutical formulations, subject to regulatory requirements and formulation limits.
