CAS 9004-95-9

Polyethylene glycol cetyl ether

Description:

Polyethylene glycol cetyl ether, with the CAS number 9004-95-9, is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifying agent commonly used in various cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations. It is derived from the reaction of cetyl alcohol and polyethylene glycol, resulting in a compound that exhibits both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties. This amphiphilic nature allows it to effectively stabilize emulsions, enhance the solubility of hydrophobic compounds, and improve the texture of formulations. Polyethylene glycol cetyl ether is known for its mildness, making it suitable for sensitive skin applications. It is often utilized in creams, lotions, and hair care products due to its ability to provide a smooth, silky feel. Additionally, it has good compatibility with other ingredients, which enhances its versatility in formulation development. The substance is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetic products, although it is essential to consider individual sensitivities and regulatory guidelines when formulating with this ingredient.

Polyethylene glycol monocetyl ether n=23

CAS: 9004-95-9

Polyethylene Glycol Mono-Cetyl Ether (PEGMC) is a polymer that is often used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations. It can be synthesized by the reaction of ethylene oxide with monocetyl alcohol, although it can also be obtained from natural compounds such as p-hydroxybenzoic acid or glycol ethers. PEGMC has been shown to have an antimicrobial effect and is used in the plastics and textiles industries, but it has not been found to be effective against bacteria resistant to antibiotics. PEGMC is soluble in water at a concentration of 10% and has a phase transition temperature of -14°C. The enzyme activities of PEGMC are low, but it does show some activity for cytochrome P450 enzymes. The solubility data for this polymer is limited, so analytical methods are needed to determine its solubility in other solvents.
