Description

Ppg-9-Ethylhexeth-5 is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the class of polypropylene glycol ethers, identified by CAS NO 64366-70-7. This versatile chemical is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and solubilizing properties, making it a critical component in formulations requiring stability and performance. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and industrial cleaning sectors for creating high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a solubilizer for fragrances and essential oils, and as an emulsifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used as a wetting agent and emulsifier in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and textile processing aids.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a dispersing and grinding aid for pigments, improving color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as a coupling agent and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and lubricants.
• Household Cleaners: Provides effective cleaning and foam control in dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and laundry detergents.

Quality Control

Our Ppg-9-Ethylhexeth-5 is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance and compliance with industry standards. Key parameters such as hydroxyl value, cloud point, and moisture content are verified. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity and specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product performance.
