Description

Glycerol Ethoxylate-Co-Propoxylate Triol is a versatile, non-ionic polymeric surfactant and polyol derived from the controlled alkoxylation of glycerol with ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. This chemical structure provides a unique balance of hydrophilicity and lipophilicity, making it an essential intermediate for formulators seeking to modify rheology, enhance solubility, and improve surface activity. It is particularly valuable for manufacturers in the polyurethane, personal care, and industrial cleaning sectors who require reliable performance and consistent quality in their production processes.

Application

• Polyurethane Foam Production: Acts as a key polyol component in flexible, semi-flexible, and rigid foam formulations, influencing foam density, cell structure, and physical properties.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a skin-conditioning agent, emulsifier, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products due to its mild and non-irritating nature.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Functions as a surfactant and coupling agent in liquid detergents, degreasers, and hard surface cleaners, improving wetting and soil removal.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Serves as a lubricant, softener, and antistatic agent in fiber processing and leather finishing applications.
• Coatings & Adhesives: Employed as a reactive diluent and modifier in polyurethane-based coatings, sealants, and adhesives to adjust flexibility and cure profiles.
• Pharmaceutical Excipients: Can be utilized as a solubilizer and carrier in topical drug delivery systems.

Quality Control

Our Glycerol Ethoxylate-Co-Propoxylate Triol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency in hydroxyl value, molecular weight distribution, viscosity, and water content. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing key specifications. Our production adheres to cGMP principles where applicable, and we can support compliance with REACH, FDA, and other relevant regulatory frameworks upon request.

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/59-77°F). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent moisture absorption and potential oxidation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
