Question

What industries and processes are Emulsifier A-110 (Polyoxyethylene Oleate / OEO-110) mainly used in?

Answer

Emulsifier A-110 (Polyoxyethylene Oleate/OEO-110) is widely used in six major industries: textiles, cosmetics, pesticides, metalworking, industrial cleaning, and emulsion polymerization. Its core processes cover emulsification, solubilization, dispersion, lubrication, etc.

Overview of Application Industries and Processes

1. Textile Industry

  • Wool lubricant: Serves as a core emulsifying component, imparting fiber cohesion and smoothness, reducing friction and breakage during carding and spinning.
  • Spinning oil: Provides wetting and antistatic properties, improving filament smoothness and cohesion.

2. Cosmetics and Personal Care Products

  • O\/W emulsifier: Stabilizes oil-in-water emulsion systems, suitable for creams, lotions, and makeup removers.
  • Solubilizer: Solubilizes fragrances and actives, imparting a light skin feel.

3. Pesticide Formulations

  • Emulsifiable concentrate (EC): Efficiently emulsifies various organic solvents and active ingredients.
  • Emulsion in water (EW), Microemulsion (ME): Ensures dilution stability of the spray solution and field spreading performance, improving target coverage and permeability.

4. Metalworking Fluids

  • Cutting fluids, Grinding fluids: Provide emulsion stability and lubricating extreme pressure properties, effective cooling and protection.
  • Rust preventive emulsifiable oil: Protects tool and workpiece surfaces, improves finish, and extends tool life.

5. Industrial Cleaners

  • Hard surface degreasing: Quickly removes grease and dirt from metal and plastic surfaces.
  • Metal parts cleaning: Suitable for spray and immersion processes, low foam and easy rinsing.

6. Emulsion Polymerization

  • Reactive emulsifier: Participates in the polymerization of acrylate, styrene-acrylic systems, yielding polymer emulsions with uniform particle size, improving adhesion, water resistance, and film-forming properties.
