What is Polyethylene glycol dioleate?
Polyethylene glycol dioleate (CAS 9005-07-6), also marketed as Radiasurf 7443, is a nonionic diester surfactant produced by esterifying polyethylene glycol with oleic acid.
Where is Polyethylene glycol dioleate used?
- Textile and leather processing: fiber lubricant and softening agent
- Metalworking: cutting fluids and rolling oils
- Printing inks: pigment dispersion and rheology control in solvent-based and water-based systems
- Personal care: emollient carrier and emulsification aid in creams, lotions, and hair conditioning formulations
- It reduces friction during spinning, weaving, and finishing operations.
Commercial specifications
- Common commercial grades are differentiated by PEG chain length, typically expressed as PEG-X dioleate.
- Grades range from low to high ethylene oxide content.
