Croduret™ 40
- Chemical Family
- Triglycerides
Croduret™ 40 is a versatile, nonionic surfactant derived from vegetable sources. It is ethoxylated, meaning it undergoes a reaction with ethylene oxide to enhance its surfactant properties. This surfactant is well-suited for various applications across different industries. One of the key features of Croduret™ 40 is its excellent emulsifying and solubilizing capabilities. It enables the dispersion of immiscible substances, such as oils and water, facilitating the creation of stable emulsions and enhancing the solubility of hydrophobic compounds. This functionality makes it valuable in a wide range of formulations, including personal care, household, and industrial products.

- Etocas and Croduret are vegetable-derived nonionic surfactants which find widespread use as emulsifierswetting agentsdispersants and lubricants. They are commonly used in such diverse applications as textiles and leather processingprinting inkshousehold productsmetalworking fluidsemulsion polymerisationpaper recycling and other auxiliary industries. Etocas and Croduret are ethoxylated castor oil and ethoxylated hydrogenated castor oil respectively. Members within each range have different degrees of ethoxylation (moles) as indicated by their numerical suffix. Members with levels of ethoxylation differing from the standard range may be made available on requestsubject to minimum batch quantities. The chemical structure of the Crodurets is analogous to that of Etocas with the exception that the double bond has been saturated by hydrogenation. This results in greater oxidative stability with superior color and odor.
