  • Applications

    3,6,9,12,15,18-Hexaoxatriacontan-1-ol, CAS 3055-96-7, is an alkyl poly(oxyethylene) ether with a long C30 hydrophobic tail and a polyether segment ending in a hydroxyl group; it is primarily used as a nonionic surfactant/emulsifier in detergents and personal-care formulations; it also serves as a solvent/co-solvent and a wetting/dispersing agent in coatings, paints, and inks; it can function as a lubricant and viscosity modifier in polymer processing; as an emollient in cosmetics; as a fragrance solvent or carrier in fragrance systems; and as an agricultural adjuvant to improve spray deposition and coverage.
