CAS 9004-98-2: Polyethylene glycol monooleyl ether
Description:Polyethylene glycol monooleyl ether, with the CAS number 9004-98-2, is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier commonly used in various industrial and pharmaceutical applications. This compound is characterized by its hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain and a hydrophobic oleyl group, which imparts amphiphilic properties, allowing it to effectively reduce surface tension and stabilize emulsions. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or waxy solid, exhibiting good solubility in water and organic solvents. The substance is known for its mildness, making it suitable for use in personal care products, such as creams and lotions, as well as in food and pharmaceutical formulations. Additionally, polyethylene glycol monooleyl ether has applications in drug delivery systems, where it can enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Its low toxicity profile and biocompatibility further contribute to its widespread use in various formulations. However, as with any chemical, appropriate safety measures should be taken during handling and application.
