Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Hydro-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, Ether With Methyl .Beta.-D-Glucopyranoside (4:1), Octadecanoate (2:3) is a specialized non-ionic surfactant derived from a methyl glucoside head group, ethoxylated polyethylene glycol chains, and stearic acid. This unique molecular architecture provides excellent emulsifying, stabilizing, and conditioning properties, making it a versatile ingredient for demanding formulations. It is particularly valuable for industries requiring high-performance, mild, and biodegradable surfactants derived from renewable resources.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing a rich, non-greasy feel.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Used in ointments, creams, and dermatological preparations for its excellent skin compatibility and emulsifying efficacy.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Serves as a key surfactant in hard-surface cleaners and degreasers, offering good detergency and foam stability.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as an emulsifier and spreader in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance coverage and efficacy.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a softener, lubricant, and anti-static agent in fiber treatments and fabric finishing.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a dispersing agent and flow aid in water-based systems to improve pigment stability and application properties.
