FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

  • Q:

    What is Polyethylene Glycol 400 Monooleate used for?

    A: PEG‑400 Monooleate is used as a nonionic emulsifier and dispersant in textile processing, metalworking fluids, agrochemical formulations, and industrial cleaning products. It provides stable O/W emulsions and good solubilization of hydrophobic components.
  • Q:

    Do PEG 400 monooleate and polyethylene glycol oleate correspond to the same product?

    A: Yes. PEG 400 monooleate and polyethylene glycol oleate refer to the same substance. Both names describe the monoester of PEG‑400 with oleic acid, commonly used as an emulsifier in industrial applications.
  • Q:

    Is Polyethylene Glycol 400 Monooleate intended for industrial formulation use?

    A: Yes. This product is designed for use as a formulation ingredient in industrial applications including emulsion stabilization, dispersion of oils and active ingredients, and as a processing aid in various chemical manufacturing processes.
  • Q:

    What is the HLB value of PEG‑400 Monooleate?

    A: PEG‑400 Monooleate typically has an HLB value in the range of 11–13, making it suitable as an O/W emulsifier. The HLB can vary slightly depending on the fatty acid composition and degree of esterification.
  • Q:

    Can PEG‑400 Monooleate be blended with other emulsifiers?

    A: Yes, PEG‑400 Monooleate can be blended with other nonionic, anionic, or cationic surfactants to achieve specific HLB values and emulsion characteristics. It is commonly used in combination with fatty alcohol ethoxylates or glycerol esters.
  • Q:

    What quality indicators should buyers verify when sourcing PEG‑400 Monooleate?

    A: Key quality indicators include acid value, saponification value, hydroxyl value, water content, and appearance. These parameters ensure consistent emulsification performance and batch uniformity in downstream applications.
