Frequently Asked Questions
What does PEG 400 dilaurate mean?
PEG-400 dilaurate (CAS 9004-96-0) is a nonionic surfactant — the polyethylene glycol (approx. 400 MW) diester of lauric acid. The "400" refers to the average molecular weight of the PEG portion, and "dilaurate" means two lauric-acid groups are esterified onto it.
What is PEG 400 dilaurate used for?
It is used as a nonionic emulsifier for oil-containing formulations, as a surface-active and wetting agent, and as an emollient and skin-conditioning component in personal-care and industrial products.
Is PEG-400 dilaurate the same as PEG 400?
No. PEG-400 is the base polyethylene glycol; PEG-400 dilaurate (CAS 9004-96-0) is that PEG esterified with two lauric-acid chains, which converts a humectant/solvent polymer into a fatty-acid-ester emulsifier and emollient.
