2-[2-(Octadecyloxy)ethoxy]ethanol

Description:
2-[2-(Octadecyloxy)ethoxy]ethanol, with the CAS number 16057-43-5, is a long-chain ether alcohol characterized by its hydrophobic octadecyl group and hydrophilic ethylene glycol moieties. This amphiphilic structure allows it to exhibit surfactant properties, making it useful in various applications, including as an emulsifier and solubilizing agent in formulations. The presence of the long alkyl chain contributes to its lipophilicity, while the ethylene glycol units enhance its water solubility. This compound typically appears as a viscous liquid or waxy solid at room temperature, depending on its purity and specific formulation. It is generally stable under normal conditions but may undergo hydrolysis or oxidation under extreme conditions. Its applications span across industries such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals, where it can improve the stability and efficacy of products. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
