Product Description

Polyethylene‑polypropylene glycol is a non‑ionic triblock block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. Appearance varies from clear viscous liquid to white waxy solid / flake depending on molecular weight and EO/PO ratio. Odourless, fully miscible with water and many organic solvents. It possesses excellent surface‑active, emulsifying, dispersing, solubilizing and wetting properties. Different grades show different HLB values, widely used in surfactant, pharmaceutical excipient, cosmetic, coating and industrial cleaning fields。
