Description

4,7,10,13,16,19-Hexamethyl-2,5,8,11,14,17,20-Heptaoxatetracosan-22-Ol is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and specialty polyether alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent solubility, low toxicity, and ability to function as a versatile intermediate and formulation component. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for applications requiring precise surface activity and chemical modification.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and as a solubilizing agent in drug delivery systems.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a wetting agent, dispersant, or emulsifier in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Serves as a reactive polyol for modifying polyurethane, epoxy, and polyester resins to enhance flexibility or hydrophilicity.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild surfactant and emollient in creams, lotions, and other personal care products.
• Industrial Cleaning: Employed as a key component in specialty detergents and degreasers for industrial and institutional cleaning.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive: Used as an additive to improve the stability, lubricity, and performance of synthetic lubricants and fuels.
