Description

3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36-Dodecaoxapentacontan-1-Ol is a high-purity, long-chain polyethylene glycol (PEG) derivative, specifically a PEG-12 alcohol, valued for its exceptional solubility, low toxicity, and surfactant properties. This compound is a critical functional intermediate and performance additive, enabling precise control over solubility, viscosity, and surface activity in advanced formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, personal care, and specialty chemical industries seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for sensitive applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient: Used as a solubilizer, co-solvent, and vehicle in oral, topical, and parenteral drug formulations.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an emollient, humectant, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile starting material or intermediate for the synthesis of PEGylated compounds, surfactants, and specialty polymers.
• Lubricants & Functional Fluids: Acts as a base fluid or additive in synthetic lubricants and industrial fluids requiring high thermal stability and low volatility.
• Biotechnology & Diagnostics: Employed in aqueous two-phase systems for protein purification and as a stabilizer in diagnostic reagents.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a non-ionic surfactant and adjuvant to enhance the efficacy and delivery of active ingredients.
