1,2-Propanediol, 3-[(13-methylhexadecyl)oxy]-

Description:

1,2-Propanediol, 3-[(13-methylhexadecyl)oxy]- is a chemical compound characterized by its structure, which includes a propanediol backbone with a long-chain alkyl group. This compound is typically classified as a surfactant due to its amphiphilic nature, possessing both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) properties. The presence of the 13-methylhexadecyl group contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, making it effective in reducing surface tension and enhancing solubility in various formulations. It is often used in cosmetic and personal care products, as well as in industrial applications, due to its ability to stabilize emulsions and improve texture. Additionally, 1,2-Propanediol, 3-[(13-methylhexadecyl)oxy]- is generally regarded as safe for use in consumer products, although specific regulatory assessments may apply depending on the intended application. Its chemical stability and compatibility with other ingredients further enhance its utility in diverse formulations.
