Polyethylene Glycol 400 Monooleate is a nonionic surfactant classified as an industrial ingredient used in nonionic surfactant formulations. It is formed by esterification of polyethylene glycol with an oleic acid moiety, resulting in a polymeric amphiphilic structure that provides surface activity through interfacial tension reduction and phase stabilization, with the CAS number 9004-96-0 identifying this substance group. This material is typically applied in industrial chemical formulations where emulsification or solubilization is required during formulation or processing stages. Regarding supply and documentation support, it is available with competitive factory pricing, customized specifications, complete documentation including MSDS, TDS, COA, and supports bulk supply for industrial use.

Application Areas
Industrial lubricants, degreasing agents, and plastic sol viscosity stabilizers.
Preparation of textile softener, antistatic agent, and dry cleaning agent.
Oil based cutting fluid balance emulsifier, metal processing lubricant additive.
Storage conditions
Temperature: The temperature of the storage tank should be controlled between 30-80 ℃ (if it is in barrels, it is recommended to store it in a cool, dry, and low-temperature warehouse to avoid decomposition caused by high temperatures).
Packaging: Iron drums (20kg, 200kg) or specialized tank trucks, sealed and stored to prevent air and moisture from entering.
Environment: Well ventilated, away from sources of fire, heat, and oxidants (such as strong acids and alkalis).
Light exposure: Avoid direct sunlight, it is recommended to use brown bottles or opaque materials for packaging.
Safety precautions
Personal protection: Wear safety goggles, anti-static work clothes, and rubber gloves during operation.
Operation standard: Handle with care to prevent collision or leakage.
Fire fighting measures: extinguishing medium: dry powder, carbon dioxide, foam extinguisher.
Disposal: Refer to local regulations and entrust to professional institutions for disposal to avoid arbitrary disposal.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Do PEG 400 monooleate and polyethylene glycol oleate correspond to the same CAS number?
A: Yes. These names are commonly used for the same polyethylene glycol monooleate substance category and correspond to CAS 9004-96-0. -
Q:
Is Polyethylene Glycol 400 Monooleate intended for industrial formulation use rather than laboratory research?
A: This material is typically used as an industrial ingredient within formulated systems, where it functions as a nonionic surfactant during production or processing operations.
