Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Hydro-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, Ether With Methyl D-Glucopyranoside (4:1) is a specialized non-ionic surfactant derived from methyl glucoside and ethylene oxide. This high-performance compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and solubilizing properties, particularly in formulations requiring mildness and biodegradability. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective, sustainable, and skin-friendly surface-active agents. The product is supplied under stringent quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for demanding industrial applications.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and shampoos, offering mildness and enhanced sensory properties.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a wetting agent, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticides, herbicides, and foliar fertilizers to improve efficacy and spray coverage.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key surfactant in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and detergent formulations for its robust cleaning and foam control.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment wetting and dispersing agent to improve color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring agent, lubricant, and dye leveling assistant in various textile manufacturing steps.
• Pharmaceuticals: Utilized as an excipient in topical formulations for its emulsifying and solubilizing capabilities.

Quality Control

Our production of Methyl Glucoside Ethoxylate adheres to a strict quality management system. Every batch is analyzed against comprehensive specifications to ensure purity, performance, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as hydroxyl value, pH, moisture content, and appearance are provided and available upon request. We support compliance with relevant frameworks including REACH and GMP where applicable for specific grades.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
