Description

Polyoxy(Methyl-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Hydro-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, Ether With Methyl D-Glucopyranoside (4:1) is a specialized non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier derived from methyl glucoside and propylene oxide. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, biodegradability, and mildness, making it a preferred choice in formulations requiring high performance with low irritation. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries for creating stable emulsions, improving product texture, and enhancing active ingredient delivery.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing a smooth, non-greasy feel.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used in topical ointments, creams, and controlled-release drug delivery systems for its solubilizing and stabilizing effects.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading, wetting, and penetration of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as a key surfactant in hard-surface cleaners and degreasers, offering effective cleaning with good environmental profile.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, softener, and dye leveling agent in various processing stages.
• Paints & Coatings: Used as a dispersing agent and emulsifier in water-based formulations to improve stability and application properties.

Quality Control

Our production of Methyl Glucoside Propoxylate adheres to stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistency, purity, and performance. Key parameters such as hydroxyl value, propylene oxide content, and residual solvents are monitored. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product performance.
