PEG 200 Monolaurate
PEG 200 Monolaurate (PEG 200 ML) is a multifunctional non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. It is commonly used where emulsification, wetting, detergency, and dispersion properties are required across a wide range of industrial and personal care formulations.
With an HLB of 9.3, PEG 200 ML is suited to oil-in-water (O/W) emulsification and water-dispersible systems. It is widely used across textile, industrial, cleaning, and cosmetic applications.
