  • Applications

    Peg-12 monoricinoleate (CAS 977137-78-2) is a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier commonly used in cosmetics and personal care to stabilize oil‑in‑water systems, improve dispersion, and enable stable, elegant emulsions; it can also function as a conditioning or emollient component. In household and cleaning products, it acts as a surfactant and solubilizer that helps wet and disperse oils and soils. In coatings and inks, it serves as a dispersant and emulsifier to improve pigment wetting and stability. In polymer and plastics processing, it is employed as a processing aid and compatibility agent to facilitate blending and stabilize formulations. In perfumery/fragrance applications, it can solubilize and carry fragrance oils, and in industrial manufacturing it may act as a wetting agent and solvent adjunct, subject to formulation limits and regulatory requirements.
