  • Applications

    3,6,9,12,15-Pentaoxaheptacosan-1-ol (CAS 3055-95-6) is a polyether alcohol with a terminal hydroxyl group, typically used as a solvent and surface-treatment medium, as an emulsifier and thickening agent in polymer, coating, and printing systems; it can also function as a surfactant and stabilizer in cleansing and personal care formulations. In cosmetics and personal care, it serves as a humectant and emollient to help moisturize and improve skin feel. In the polymer and coatings sector, it may act as a plasticizer, stabilizer, or coupling agent to enhance processability and the stability of plastics and coatings. In pharmaceutical-related formulations and systems, it may be used as a solubilizer or carrier for active ingredients, depending on regulatory constraints and formulation limits. Overall, the primary roles of this compound are as a solvent, emulsifier, humectant, and surface-treatment additive, with applicability in industrial and cosmetic formulations subject to local regulations.
