  • Applications

    Polyglyceryl-2 Laurate (CAS number: 96499-68-2) is widely used as a nonionic surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetics and personal care, functioning as a conditioning/emollient aid to stabilize oil-in-water systems; in cleaning and household formulations, it acts as a mild surfactant and emulsifier to improve wetting and cleaning performance; in industrial manufacturing and coatings/inks, it serves as a dispersing agent and surfactant to enhance pigment dispersion and formulation stability; in polymer processing and plastics, it can act as a processing aid or dispersant; in pharmaceuticals, it is used as an excipient as an emulsifier or solubilizer in topical or oral formulations, depending on regulatory and formulation constraints.
