Description

Glycerol Ethoxylate CAS NO 31694-55-0 is a non-ionic surfactant and chemical intermediate derived from the ethoxylation of glycerol. This versatile polyol ether is valued for its excellent hydrophilic properties, solubility in water, and ability to function as a humectant, emulsifier, and viscosity modifier. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, textile, and agrochemical industries seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a key humectant and moisturizing agent in creams, lotions, and hair care products, improving skin feel and formulation stability.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a solubilizer, co-solvent, and excipient in topical preparations and oral solutions.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a lubricant, softener, and anti-static agent in fiber production and fabric finishing.
• Agrochemicals: Functions as a surfactant and adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve wetting, spreading, and absorption.
• Industrial Cleaners & Detergents: Employed as a wetting agent and detergent builder in industrial and institutional cleaning products.
• Polyurethane Foams: Utilized as a polyol component in the production of flexible foams, contributing to the polymer's structure and properties.

Quality Control

Our Glycerol Ethoxylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for parameters such as hydroxyl value, water content, pH, and appearance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability, consistency, and compliance with relevant industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
