Description

2-(2-(2-Isopropyl-5-Methylcyclohexyloxy)Ethoxy)Ethanol is a specialized ethoxylated cyclohexanol derivative, valued for its unique combination of a hydrophobic terpene-derived core and a hydrophilic polyether tail. This structure makes it a versatile intermediate and functional additive, particularly effective as a non-ionic surfactant and coupling agent. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the fragrance, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for formulating stable emulsions, enhancing solubility, and modifying surface properties.

Application

• As a fragrance fixative and solvent in premium perfumes and personal care products, leveraging its terpene backbone for enhanced scent longevity.
• As a coupling agent and emulsifier in agricultural formulations, improving the stability and efficacy of pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• As a surfactant intermediate for the synthesis of more complex non-ionic surfactants used in industrial and institutional cleaners.
• As a plasticizer and processing aid in specialty polymer and resin production, aiding in dispersion and flow properties.
• As a solubilizer and carrier in pharmaceutical and cosmetic preparations for active ingredients with poor water solubility.
• As a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis for further functionalization of the ethoxy chain or cyclohexyl ring.

Quality Control

Our production of 2-(2-(2-Isopropyl-5-Methylcyclohexyloxy)Ethoxy)Ethanol adheres to a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC/HPLC, identity confirmation (IR, NMR), and impurity profiling to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
