tetraethylene glycol monodecyl ether

Description:
Tetraethylene glycol monodecyl ether, with the CAS number 5703-94-6, is a nonionic surfactant characterized by its hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it useful in various applications. It is derived from tetraethylene glycol and a decyl alcohol, resulting in a structure that facilitates solubility in both water and organic solvents. This compound typically appears as a clear, viscous liquid and is known for its low toxicity and biodegradability, which makes it an environmentally friendly option in formulations. Its surfactant properties allow it to reduce surface tension, enhancing wetting, emulsification, and dispersion in formulations such as detergents, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Additionally, tetraethylene glycol monodecyl ether exhibits good stability across a range of pH levels and temperatures, making it versatile for industrial applications. Its ability to form micelles also contributes to its effectiveness in solubilizing hydrophobic compounds, further expanding its utility in various chemical processes and formulations.
