Ethylene Glycol Diacetate
Ethylene Glycol DiAcetate (EGDA) is a colourless, low-odour and readily biodegradable liquid used as a solvent and process aid across a wide range of industrial applications. It is commonly used within paints, coatings, cosmetic and personal care formulations, and foundry binding systems.
-
PEG 400 Monooleate
PEG 400 Monooleate (PEG 400 MO) is a multifunctional non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. Compared to lower molecular weight PEG oleates, PEG 400 MO offers increased water dispersibility and is commonly used where emulsification, wetting, detergency, and dispersion properties are required.
-
Propylene Glycol DiAcetate
Propylene Glycol DiAcetate (PGDA) is a low-odour liquid used as an ester solvent, coupling agent and process aid across a wide range of industrial applications. It is commonly used within coatings, resins, adhesives, industrial cleaners, textile processing and foundry binder systems.
-
Sorbitan Monooleate
Sorbitan Monooleate (SMO) is a non-ionic surfactant and low-HLB emulsifier. With an HLB of approximately 4.3, it is particularly suited for water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions, whilst also functioning as an effective wetting agent, dispersant and co-emulsifier in a wide range of industrial and technical formulations.
