polyoxyethylene 5 octyl ether

Description:
Polyoxyethylene 5 octyl ether, with the CAS number 19327-40-3, is a nonionic surfactant characterized by its hydrophilic polyoxyethylene (POE) chain and hydrophobic octyl group. This compound typically features a molecular structure that includes a hydrophilic portion composed of ethylene oxide units, which enhances its solubility in water, and a hydrophobic octyl tail that contributes to its surfactant properties. It is commonly used in various applications, including as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant in formulations such as cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and agricultural products. The presence of the octyl group allows it to effectively reduce surface tension, facilitating the mixing of oil and water phases. Additionally, polyoxyethylene 5 octyl ether is known for its mildness and compatibility with other surfactants, making it suitable for use in sensitive formulations. Its properties can vary based on the degree of polymerization of the ethylene oxide units, influencing its performance in different applications.
