Pentaethylene glycol monohexyl ether

Description:
Pentaethylene glycol monohexyl ether, with the CAS number 86674-95-5, is a non-ionic surfactant and a member of the polyethylene glycol ether family. It is characterized by its hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) backbone, which is composed of five ethylene glycol units, and a hydrophobic hexyl ether group. This structure imparts both water solubility and oil solubility, making it an effective emulsifier and solubilizer in various formulations. The substance is typically a clear to slightly yellow liquid with low volatility and a relatively high molecular weight. It exhibits good thermal stability and is often used in cosmetic and personal care products, as well as in industrial applications, due to its ability to enhance the solubility of active ingredients and improve the texture of formulations. Additionally, it is known for its mildness and compatibility with a wide range of other ingredients, making it suitable for sensitive skin applications. Safety data indicates that it has low toxicity, but standard handling precautions should still be observed.
