Description

Ethyleneglycolmonopentylether is a fatty alcohol that has a hydroxyl group on the fifth carbon atom. When combined with a fatty acid, it forms an ester with the hydroxyl group on the second carbon atom. Ethyleneglycolmonopentylether is used in detergent compositions and as an agent in chemical ionization. It is also used to modify the surface tension of water, which can be useful for chromatographic science. The high value of ethyleneglycolmonopentylether sets it apart from other similar compounds because of its low toxicity to animals and humans.
