Frequently Asked Questions
What is PPG-11 stearyl ether?
PPG-11 stearyl ether (CAS 68155-01-1) is a propoxylated stearyl (C18) fatty alcohol used in personal-care formulations as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent.
What is PPG-11 stearyl ether used for?
Formulators use it as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent in skin care, as a conditioning agent in hair care, and as a co-emulsifier and texture modifier in cosmetic formulating. It is supplied as a raw material to cosmetic manufacturers.
Is PPG the same as propylene glycol?
No. PPG (polypropylene glycol) is a polymer of propylene-oxide units, while propylene glycol is the small two-carbon diol monomer. PPG-11 stearyl ether is a propoxylated fatty alcohol, distinct from propylene glycol. Specify by CAS 68155-01-1 to avoid substitution.
What is the difference between PPG-11 stearyl ether and the parent stearyl alcohol?
Stearyl alcohol is the C18 fatty alcohol; PPG-11 stearyl ether is that alcohol propoxylated with about eleven propylene-oxide units, which alters its emolliency and solubility for formulation. Identity data appear on the CoA per lot.
What packaging is available for bulk supply?
We supply PPG-11 stearyl ether to formulators in industrial packaging such as drums and pails, with a CoA and SDS per lot. Request a quote with your target volume and packaging preference for current bulk pricing.
