Description

PEG/PPG-20/22 Butyl Ether Dimethicone is a high-performance silicone-based surfactant and emollient, synthesized from polyethylene glycol (PEG), polypropylene glycol (PPG), butyl ether, and dimethicone. This unique hybrid structure provides exceptional compatibility with both water and oils, making it a critical ingredient for formulating stable, elegant, and high-performance products. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for its ability to deliver superior sensory benefits and functional performance.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product performance.
