1. Core Basic Information

  • Product Name
    • Chinese: Polyoxyethylene Castor Oil Derivative
    • English: Polyoxyethylene Castor Oil Derivative
    • Brand Series: Clariant Emulsogen® Series
  • Manufacturer: Clariant Group – a leading global specialty chemicals company, with businesses spanning care chemicals, natural resources, catalysis and energy. It is renowned for high-purity and high-stability products.
  • Chemical Properties
    • Type: Nonionic surfactant 
    • CAS No.: 61791-12-6
    • Appearance: Light yellow to amber viscous liquid at room temperature, with no obvious odor
    • Solubility: Easily soluble in water, ethanol and propylene glycol; dispersible in most polar organic solvents; insoluble in non-polar solvents such as mineral oil and paraffin

2. Key Performance and Characteristics

  • Core Functions: Possesses high-efficiency emulsifying, wetting and dispersing capabilities. It can reduce the oil-water interface tension to stabilize multiphase systems. Meanwhile, it has mild surface activity, with low irritation to skin and mucous membranes.
  • Stability
    • Chemical Stability: Stable in the pH range of 4-10, resistant to acids, alkalis and hard water, and not prone to hydrolysis or oxidation.
    • Thermal Stability: No significant performance degradation in environments below 80℃; short-term use at high temperatures (≤120℃) can still maintain emulsifying effects.
  • Safety: Complies with EU EC 1223/2009  and US FDA food contact material standards. Some grades can be used in pharmaceutical excipient scenarios (such as oral or topical preparations).

3. Main Application Fields

  • Industrial Field
    • Coatings and Inks: Used as an O/W emulsifier in the preparation of water-based coatings and water-based inks, improving pigment dispersibility and system stability to avoid stratification.
    • Metal Processing: Applied in metal cutting fluids and cleaning agents to enhance oil-stain emulsifying ability and reduce corrosion on metal surfaces.
    • Textile Dyeing and Printing: Serves as a wetting agent and leveling agent, improving the uniform adhesion of dyes on fibers and enhancing color fastness.
  • Pharmaceutical and Daily Chemical Field
    • Pharmaceutical Excipients: Used as an emulsifying stabilizer in oral suspensions and topical creams, or as a drug solubilizer 
    • Daily Chemical Products: Added to mild detergents, body washes and skin care products to reduce the irritation of surfactants on the skin and improve product skin feel.

4. Specifications, Packaging, Storage and Transportation

  • Technical Specifications
    • Purity: Active ingredient content ≥99%
    • Moisture Content: ≤0.5%
    • Acid Value: ≤2 mg KOH/g .
  • Packaging Specifications: Conventional industrial packaging includes 200L HDPE plastic drums or 1000L IBC totes, suitable for industrial bulk transportation and storage.
  • Storage and Transportation Requirements
    • Storage: Store in a cool (5-30℃), dry and ventilated environment, keep sealed, and avoid direct sunlight and high-temperature exposure.
    • Transportation: Transport as non-hazardous chemicals (UN number UN3082, classified as environmentally hazardous substances; leakage and pollution must be avoided).
    • Shelf Life: 24 months in unopened condition (for products beyond the shelf life, the active ingredient content must be re-tested, and they can be used only after qualification is confirmed).

5. Product Advantages 

  1. Stronger Compatibility: Can be compounded with anionic, cationic and other nonionic surfactants without incompatibility, flexibly meeting multi-formulation needs.
  2. Wide Application Range: Covers high and low requirement scenarios from industrial high-performance emulsification to pharmaceutical-grade mild excipients, reducing customers' multi-product procurement costs.
  3. Comprehensive Compliance: Meets the regulations of the chemical, pharmaceutical and daily chemical industries in major global regions (EU, US, China), reducing customers' compliance risks.
