Description

2,5-Furandione, Polymer With α-Hydro-ω-Hydroxypoly( Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), 2-Ethylhexyl Ester is a specialized polymeric ester derived from maleic anhydride and poly(ethylene glycol) 2-ethylhexyl ether, offering unique surfactant and dispersant properties. This compound is valued for its ability to modify surface tension and stabilize formulations in demanding industrial environments. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the coatings, adhesives, and polymer processing industries for its performance as a rheology modifier and compatibilizer.

Application

• Coatings & Inks: Acts as a dispersing agent and rheology modifier in water-based and solvent-based coating systems to improve pigment wetting and film uniformity.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Used as a compatibilizer and plasticizer to enhance flexibility, adhesion, and processing characteristics.
• Polymer Additives: Functions as an internal lubricant and processing aid in PVC and other thermoplastic formulations to reduce melt viscosity.
• Textile Chemicals: Employed as a softening agent and antistatic component in fiber treatments and fabric finishes.
• Personal Care: Serves as an emollient and skin-feel enhancer in cosmetic and personal care formulations.
• Industrial Cleaners: Utilized as a surfactant and wetting agent in industrial and institutional cleaning products.

Quality Control

Our production of 2,5-Furandione, Polymer With α-Hydro-ω-Hydroxypoly( Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), 2-Ethylhexyl Ester adheres to strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analysis, including assessment of acid value, hydroxyl value, viscosity, and color. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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) and should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) after opening to prevent moisture uptake and potential oxidation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
