  • Applications

    3,6,9,12-Tetraoxatriacontan-1-ol (CAS 59970-10-4) is a long-chain polyether alcohol bearing a single terminal hydroxyl group; in practical applications it is commonly evaluated as a nonionic surfactant/emulsifier, serving as a solubilizer and processing aid in coatings, inks, and polymer formulations. It can also function as an intermediate or chain-terminating component in polyurethane and other polymer syntheses, and may act as a plasticizer or viscosity modifier in polymer and coating systems. In cosmetics/personal care and household products, it may be used as a surfactant or solvent in formulations. Use is subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
