Product Description

Product Overview

Glycerol Ethoxylate G-18 is supplied as a functional additive / formulation ingredient rather than an end-use consumer product. Based on its product identity and application profile, it is positioned as a nonionic surfactant material for formulated systems requiring water solubility, surface activity and broad formulation compatibility.

It is commonly used in cosmetic and toiletry formulations as a humectant, lubricant and foam-supporting component, and may also be used in related industrial chemical systems where ethoxylated polyether functionality is required.

For product evaluation, appearance, hydroxyl value, moisture and packaging should be confirmed according to the supplied grade and intended application.
