Polyethylene glycol monolaurate

Description:
Polyethylene glycol monolaurate, with the CAS number 9004-81-3, is a non-ionic surfactant derived from the esterification of polyethylene glycol and lauric acid. This compound is characterized by its amphiphilic nature, possessing both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties, which makes it effective in reducing surface tension and stabilizing emulsions. It is typically a white to off-white solid or viscous liquid, depending on its molecular weight and formulation. Polyethylene glycol monolaurate is soluble in water and various organic solvents, making it versatile for use in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food products. Its applications include acting as an emulsifier, solubilizer, and stabilizer in formulations. Additionally, it is known for its mildness and low toxicity, which enhances its suitability for use in personal care products. Overall, polyethylene glycol monolaurate is valued for its functional properties and safety profile in various industrial and consumer applications.
