CAS 9035-85-2

Polyoxypropylene cetyl ether

Description:

Polyoxypropylene cetyl ether, with the CAS number 9035-85-2, is a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifying agent commonly used in various industrial and cosmetic applications. This compound is characterized by its hydrophobic cetyl group, which contributes to its ability to reduce surface tension and enhance the solubility of oils in water. The polyoxypropylene moiety provides hydrophilic properties, allowing it to interact effectively with both water and oil phases. As a result, it is often utilized in formulations such as creams, lotions, and other personal care products to improve texture and stability. Additionally, it exhibits good compatibility with other surfactants and can enhance the overall performance of formulations. Polyoxypropylene cetyl ether is generally considered safe for use in cosmetic applications, although it is essential to follow regulatory guidelines and conduct appropriate safety assessments. Its versatility and effectiveness make it a valuable ingredient in the formulation of various products across different industries.
