PEG-30 Castor Oil is a vegetable-derived non-ionic surfactant suitable for use in a broad range of applications. Especially high in ricinoleic acid, Castor Oil is a remarkably special natural oil with unique solubilizing properties.

PEG-30 Castor Oil is a ethoxylated derivative that make the oil soluble in water - giving rise to a wide range of functionality and applications. It is a superb oil-in-water emulsifier, excellent oil solubilizer, and dispersant, compatible with all surfactants with low foaming.

In addition, PEG-30 Castor Oil is used as a water-soluble lubricant, a good pigment-wetting agent in decorative cosmetics, and as a detergent in cleansing applications that is very useful in forming microemulsions. It is useful in fragrance solubilization and can emulsify d-Limonene and pine oil.
