Polyoxyethylene methyl glucoside

Polyoxyethylene methyl glucoside (CAS 53026-67-8) is a glucose-derived polyol used as a humectant, emulsifier, and solvent carrier across personal care and industrial formulations. Its ethoxylated structure delivers moisture-binding and dispersing performance in both aqueous and mixed-solvent systems.

In skin and hair care formulations, it functions as a humectant that draws and retains moisture, improving skin feel in lotions, creams, and conditioning treatments. This versatile ingredient enhances the sensory profile of various cosmetic products.

Textile and leather processors use it as a wetting and dispersing agent to improve dye uptake and ensure even penetration of finishing treatments across fiber substrates. It provides consistent results during the intensive manufacturing processes of these materials.

As a carrier and co-solvent, it helps solubilize active ingredients in agrochemical formulations, supporting uniform delivery of crop protection agents. This ensures that active components remain stable and effective during application in the field.

It also serves emulsification duties in paper processing aids where consistent dispersion of treatment chemicals is required. The chemical structure allows for stable emulsions that improve the overall quality and texture of the finished paper products.

Polyoxyethylene methyl glucoside is typically supplied as a viscous liquid or paste. It is available in technical and cosmetic grades, with cosmetic-grade material meeting purity requirements suitable for leave-on and rinse-off personal care applications.

Bulk supply is standard in drums and IBCs, with documentation packages aligned to cosmetic or industrial end-use requirements. Our logistics team ensures that all shipments meet the necessary safety and handling standards for global distribution.
