Diethylene glycol monododecyl ether

Description:
Diethylene glycol monododecyl ether, with the CAS number 3055-93-4, is a nonionic surfactant characterized by its hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it effective in various applications. It is derived from the reaction of diethylene glycol and dodecanol, resulting in a molecule that contains both ether and alcohol functional groups. This compound typically appears as a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a mild odor. It has a relatively high molecular weight and exhibits good solubility in water and organic solvents, which enhances its utility in formulations. Diethylene glycol monododecyl ether is commonly used in personal care products, detergents, and industrial applications due to its emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing capabilities. Additionally, it is known for its low toxicity and biodegradability, making it a favorable choice in environmentally conscious formulations. Its ability to reduce surface tension allows for improved penetration and spreading in various systems, contributing to its effectiveness as a surfactant.
