Coconut oil monoglycerides, ethoxylated

Coconut oil monoglycerides, ethoxylated (CAS 66105-29-1) is a nonionic surfactant derived from coconut oil monoglycerides reacted with ethylene oxide. It functions as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and humectant across personal care, cleaning, and industrial coating formulations.

In personal care, it stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions in lotions, creams, and hair conditioners while contributing mild moisturizing properties to finished formulations. Household and industrial cleaners use it to improve substrate wetting.

This versatile chemical helps boost the dispersion of soils and oils at low concentrations. In coating and adhesive systems, it acts as a dispersing aid that promotes uniform pigment distribution and improves substrate adhesion.

Its compatibility with both aqueous and oily phases also makes it suitable for emulsion-based sealants and elastomer processing aids. This chemical is typically supplied as a liquid or paste, depending on the degree of ethoxylation.

Technical-grade material is the standard commercial form, with HLB values varying by ethoxylation level to suit different formulation requirements. Bulk supply is available in drums and IBCs for industrial use.

Specific grades are selected based on the target application's emulsification or wetting performance needs. This ensures optimal stability and performance in diverse chemical manufacturing environments and product development cycles.
