Frequently Asked Questions
What is Glucamate DOE-120 used for?
Glucamate DOE-120 (PEG-120 methyl glucose dioleate) is a nonionic PEG ester of methyl glucoside and oleic acid used as an emulsifying ingredient in personal-care and surfactant-based formulations. It is commonly used as a thickener and rheology aid in surfactant systems. RawSource supplies it for formulators by CAS 86893-19-8.
What is the INCI name for Glucamate DOE-120?
The INCI name is PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate, corresponding to CAS 86893-19-8. It is a nonionic glucose-ester compatible with surfactant blends. Reference the INCI and CAS together on formulation and procurement documents.
What is glucam / a glucamate-type ingredient?
Glucamate-type ingredients are PEG esters built on a methyl glucoside (glucose-derived) backbone, used as nonionic emulsifiers and thickeners. Glucamate DOE-120 specifically is the PEG-120 dioleate ester. Different grades vary in PEG chain length and ester, which changes thickening behavior.
Is Glucamate DOE-120 nonionic, and what does it pair with?
Yes, it is a nonionic PEG glucose-ester, which makes it compatible with anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactant blends in cleansing systems. It functions primarily as an associative thickener and co-emulsifier. SDS and technical data are provided to support formulation.
How is bulk Glucamate DOE-120 supplied and priced?
It is supplied with CoA and SDS in packaging scaled to order volume for personal-care manufacturers. Pricing depends on quantity and packaging, so we quote per request rather than list a price. Submit a bulk RFQ with your target volume for a current quote.
What is the REACH and TSCA regulatory status of PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate?
PEG-120 Methyl Glucose Dioleate (CAS 86893-19-8) is listed as Active on the U.S. EPA TSCA Inventory; its REACH registration status is not determined from the public ECHA registry.
