EL - 80 (PEG80 Castor Oil)
Jienuo
Emulsifier EL-80, chemically a polyoxyethylene castor oil ether, is a non-ionic surfactant formed by ethoxylating castor oil with ~80 ethylene oxide units . It appears as pale yellow paste or solid, soluble in water and organic solvents, with a neutral pH (5.0-7.0) and HLB value of 15.5-16.5 .
Its core function is as an efficient O/W emulsifier, blending oils and water stably. It also acts as a mild cleanser in cosmetics and an antistatic agent in textile oil agents. Widely used in agriculture (pesticide emulsification), petroleum (crude oil demulsification), and printing (ink emulsification) .
