Product Description

Propylene Glycol Block Polyether F38(CAS 9003-11-6): Overview

Propylene glycol block polyether F38 (also called PEO-PPO block copolymer F38, CAS 9003-11-6) is a high-performance non-ionic surfactant. It features low foaming, excellent emulsifying capacity, good solubility, and strong thermal/chemical stability.

Widely used in industries like pesticides (as an emulsifier), detergents (as an additive), and manufacturing (as a dispersant/wetting agent), it boosts product stability and performance. With low toxicity and reliable quality, it's a versatile choice for industrial applications requiring efficient, consistent surfactant performance.

Product Advantage

Outstanding Thermal & Chemical Stability
With a cloud point >100°C (1% aqueous solution) and pH 5.0–7.0, it maintains consistent performance in extreme temperatures and diverse chemical environments. This stability reduces operational risks in industrial processes like pesticide emulsification.
High-Efficiency Multi-Functionality
As a low-foaming surfactant (HLB 30), it simultaneously serves as an emulsifier, dispersant, and anti-static agent—replacing multiple single-function additives. Its melting point (45°C) ensures easy handling in solid-form applications.
Low Toxicity & Wide Compliance
With moisture ≤1.0% and non-ionic properties, it meets safety standards for pharmaceutical excipients and cosmetic ingredients. This makes it suitable for sensitive scenarios like oral sprays and skin care products.
Cost-Effective Application Performance
In textile processing, it enhances water permeability to increase sugar extraction efficiency in sugar mills; in metal cleaning, it reduces residue by 15% vs. common surfactants.

Product Uses

Agrochemicals
Acts as an emulsifier in pesticide formulations, improving active ingredient dispersion and stability. It ensures uniform mixing with water, enhancing pesticide efficacy while reducing foaming during application.
Cosmetics & Pharmaceuticals
Serves as a wetting agent and emulsifier in oral sprays, eye drops, and shampoos. Its low toxicity and mildness align with personal care product safety requirements.
Industrial Processing
Functions as a defoamer in metal cleaning, a dispersant in coating emulsions, and an anti-static agent in textile finishing. It also aids pulp processing by boosting paper quality.

Product Operate Guide

For liquid formulations: Melt F38 at 45–50°C (its melting point), then stir evenly into the base material (e.g., pesticide concentrate or cosmetic cream) at 0.5–5% dosage (adjust per application). For solid blends: Grind F38 into powder and mix directly with dry ingredients to ensure uniform distribution.

FAQ

Is F38 safe for food-related applications?
It has low toxicity but is primarily designed for industrial/non-food uses. For food-contact scenarios, confirm compliance with local regulatory standards first.
What's the recommended storage condition?
Store in a dry, cool area (≤30°C) in sealed packaging to prevent moisture absorption (moisture limit ≤1.0%) and maintain its solid form.
Can F38 replace other block polyethers like F68?
It can substitute F68 in low-foaming scenarios (e.g., metal cleaning) but check HLB value compatibility for specific emulsification needs.
