Ethylene glycol dioleate

Ethylene glycol dioleate (CAS 928-24-5) is a diester of ethylene glycol and oleic acid used as a lubricant, plasticizer, and surface modifier in industrial formulation.

Where is Ethylene glycol dioleate used?

• Metalworking and industrial lubricants: base component or additive that reduces friction and improves tool life in cutting and forming operations
• Textile processing: fiber lubricant and softening agent, improving yarn handling and reducing breakage during spinning and weaving
• Plastics compounding: internal plasticizer and processing aid, improving flexibility and melt flow in polymer formulations
• Leather and paper finishing: surface modifier that enhances suppleness, smoothness, and coating adhesion

Commercial specifications

• Buyers should confirm acid value, ester content, and color specifications with suppliers; these parameters vary between production batches and affect performance in sensitive formulations.
