Mosselman PEG 600 Monooleate N (9004-96-0) Polyethyleneglycol esters are the products obtained by the esterification of polyethyleneglycols with natural fatty acids. Depending the molecular weight of the polyethyleneglycol used and the mono- and diesters content, non-ionic esters with different HLB values are obtained. Polyethyleneglycol esters are mainly used as emulsifiers for oil in water emulsions. They find also application in cosmetics, lubricants, textiles, pesticides etc.

Crodamol™ CAP is a specially formulated blend of high-quality branched-chain monoesters that offers several beneficial properties in various applications. This blend provides a fine, dry emollience, making it a versatile ingredient for different product formulations. One of the key features of Crodamol™ CAP is its ability to form water-repellent films. This property is particularly valuable in applications where a protective barrier is desired, such as in skin care or surface care products. The water-repellent films created by Crodamol™ CAP help to minimize moisture loss from the skin or surfaces, contributing to improved hydration and protection. Additionally, Crodamol™ CAP is effective in reducing stickiness in emulsion systems.

Crodamol™ IPP is a premium ester that has been specially formulated for use in personal care and pharmaceutical applications. This clear and colorless liquid offers a range of benefits and features that make it suitable for various product formulations. One notable characteristic of Crodamol™ IPP is its low cloud point/melting point, which is approximately 12ºC. Crodamol™ IPP finds wide application in the personal care industry.

Crodamol™ SS is a bodying agent that creates pearlized emulsions. It displays medium emollience and is primarily used in skin care, tissue, and hygiene applications. The product's physical form is white/pale yellow pastilles. Applications include hygiene nonwovens, industrial and institutional cleaning, and tissue coatings.

Crodamol™ AB is an ester of benzoic acid and C12-15 alcohols that is a colorless liquid. It is a solubilizer and wetting agent with applications in automatic and hand dishwashing, industrial and institutional cleaning, insect repellency, tissue coatings, waxes, and polishes.
