  • Applications

    Polyoxyl 10 oleyl ether is a nonionic surfactant commonly used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in a range of formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it serves as an emulsifier for oil-in-water systems and as a surfactant in cleansers and bath products. In household and industrial cleaning, it functions as a surfactant and soil-dispersing additive to improve cleaning performance and formulation stability. In coatings, inks, and adhesives, it acts as a wetting agent and pigment dispersant to promote dispersion and surface wetting. In polymers and plastics processing, it can serve as a processing aid and compatibility agent, aiding emulsion stabilization and blend quality. Its use is typical for nonionic surfactants of this class and is subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
