Siloxanes and Silicones, di-Me, 3-hydroxypropyl Me, ethers with polyethylene glycol mono-Me ether

Description:

Siloxanes and Silicones, di-Me, 3-hydroxypropyl Me, ethers with polyethylene glycol mono-Me ether, identified by CAS number 68938-54-5, are a class of organosilicon compounds characterized by their unique combination of siloxane (Si-O) linkages and polyethylene glycol (PEG) structures. These compounds typically exhibit low surface tension, making them effective as surfactants and emulsifiers in various applications. They possess hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties due to the presence of both silicone and polyethylene glycol moieties, which enhances their compatibility with a wide range of substances, including oils and water. Additionally, they are known for their thermal stability, chemical resistance, and low volatility, which contribute to their utility in personal care products, pharmaceuticals, and industrial formulations. The presence of hydroxyl groups allows for further chemical modifications, enhancing their functionality. Overall, these characteristics make them valuable in applications requiring lubrication, wetting, and stabilization of emulsions.
