  • Applications

    Myreth-3 (CAS 26826-30-2) is primarily used as an emulsifier, surfactant, and emollient in cosmetic and personal care formulations; it also serves as a surfactant, wetting agent, and dispersant in household cleaners and other cleaning products; due to its dispersing and wetting properties, it is commonly used as a dispersant in coatings and inks; in industrial manufacturing, it may act as a processing aid or plasticizer to improve handling and compatibility in polymer formulations; it can be used as an additive in adhesives to improve wetting and compatibility; and it may be evaluated as a solvent or lubricity-enhancing additive in certain industrial formulations.
