Laurates
Laurate esters—such as sorbitan monolaurate, glycerol monolaurate, and PEG laurates—are esters based on lauric acid, known for their multifunctional performance. They excel as non-ionic emulsifiers and stabilisers, and in enhancing wetting, viscosity control, and dispersion.
Products
-
Glycerol Monolaurate
Glycerol Monolaurate (GML) is a non-ionic glycerol fatty acid. GML is used as a lipophilic emulsifier, co-emulsifier, dispersant and formulation aid.
-
PEG 200 Dilaurate
PEG 200 Dilaurate (PEG 200 DIL) is a multifunctional non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. As a dilaurate ester, it offers enhanced oil compatibility and is commonly used where emulsification, wetting, detergency, and lubrication properties are required.
-
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.
-
PEG 300 Dilaurate
PEG 300 Dilaurate is a non-ionic polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester. It is a moderately lipophilic surfactant used as an emulsifier, co-emulsifier, cleansing agent and formulation aid.
-
PEG 300 Monolaurate
PEG 300 Monolaurate is a non-ionic polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester. It is a moderately hydrophilic surfactant used as an emulsifier, wetting agent, dispersant and solubilising aid.
-
PEG 400 Dilaurate
PEG 400 Dilaurate (PEG 400 DIL) is a multifunctional non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. As a dilaurate ester, it combines good oil compatibility with enhanced water dispersibility, making it suitable for formulations requiring emulsification, detergency, wetting, and dispersion properties.
-
PEG 400 Monolaurate
PEG 400 Monolaurate (PEG 400 ML) is a multifunctional non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier. Compared to lower molecular weight PEG laurates, PEG 400 ML offers increased water dispersibility and enhanced emulsification performance in water-based systems.
-
PEG 600 Dilaurate
PEG 600 Dilaurate is a non-ionic polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester. It is a moderately hydrophilic surfactant used primarily as an emulsifier, co-emulsifier, dispersing agent and formulation aid.
-
PEG 600 Monolaurate
PEG 600 Monolaurate is a non-ionic polyethylene glycol fatty acid ester. It is a hydrophilic surfactant used primarily as an oil-in-water emulsifier, co-emulsifier, wetting agent and dispersing aid.
-
Sorbitan Monolaurate
Sorbitan Monolaurate (SML) is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier with an HLB of 8.6, positioning it as a water-dispersible, oil-favouring emulsifier. It is typically used to support oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, improve wetting, and enhance dispersion across a wide range of formulations.
