CAS 2136-70-1

Ethylene glycol monotetradecyl ether

Description:

Ethylene glycol monotetradecyl ether, with the CAS number 2136-70-1, is a nonionic surfactant characterized by its hydrophilic ethylene glycol head and a hydrophobic tetradecyl tail. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is known for its emulsifying and wetting properties. It is soluble in water and various organic solvents, making it useful in a range of applications, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial formulations. Ethylene glycol monotetradecyl ether exhibits low toxicity and is often employed to enhance the stability and performance of products by reducing surface tension. Its ability to form micelles allows it to effectively solubilize oils and other hydrophobic substances in aqueous environments. Additionally, it can improve the texture and feel of formulations, contributing to the overall sensory experience of consumer products. As with many surfactants, care should be taken regarding its concentration and compatibility with other ingredients in formulations to ensure optimal performance and safety.
