CAS 4439-32-1

Triethylene glycol monooctadecyl ether

Description:

Triethylene glycol monooctadecyl ether, with the CAS number 4439-32-1, is a nonionic surfactant characterized by its long hydrophobic alkyl chain and hydrophilic ether groups. This compound typically exhibits good emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and industrial formulations. Its structure consists of a triethylene glycol moiety linked to an octadecyl (C18) alkyl chain, which contributes to its surfactant properties. The presence of the long hydrophobic tail enhances its ability to interact with oils and fats, while the hydrophilic ether groups allow it to interact with water, facilitating the formation of stable emulsions. Additionally, triethylene glycol monooctadecyl ether is known for its low toxicity and good compatibility with other surfactants, which makes it suitable for use in sensitive formulations. Its stability under a range of pH conditions and temperatures further enhances its utility in various chemical processes and formulations.
