Polyoxypropylene Glycerol Ether CAS 25791-96-2

Overview of Polyoxypropylene Glycerol Ether 
Polyoxypropylene glycerol ether is a colorless or yellow non-volatile oily liquid. It is soluble in aromatic solvents such as benzene, ethanol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride and other solvents. It is poorly soluble in water and has good thermal stability. . It uses glycerol as raw material, performs ring-opening polymerization of propylene oxide under the action of potassium hydroxide catalyst, and prepares it after decolorization and pressure filtration. It has good defoaming properties and is a non-ionic surfactant.

Application of Polyoxypropylene Glycerol Ether
Polyoxypropylene Glycerol Ether is a multifunctional nonionic surfactant with excellent wetting, emulsifying and dispersing properties. It has wide application prospects in cosmetics, pesticides, printing, dyeing and textiles, oil field chemicals and other fields. In the production of cosmetics, PPG can make the emulsion more delicate and smooth, and improve the use experience of the product. In the use of pesticides, it can help pesticides be better dispersed in water, form a stable emulsion, and improve the effectiveness of pesticides. In the printing, dyeing and textile industries, PPG can improve the permeability and uniformity of dyes, making the printing and dyeing effects more vivid and lasting. At the same time, it can also make textiles softer and more comfortable and improve performance. Among oilfield chemicals, PPG can help reduce the viscosity of crude oil and improve oil recovery. It can also be used as a wetting agent for water injection.

1. Cosmetics and personal care products: PPG is mainly used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in cosmetics and personal care products. It can improve the stability of the product, make the lotion more uniform and delicate, and at the same time enhance the moisturizing performance of the product, making the skin smoother and more moisturized.
