Propoxylates

Propoxylation is a chemical process wherein propylene oxide (PO) reacts (in desired molar ratio) with an alcohol, acid, amine or vegetable oils to make Propoxylated surfactants. We manufacture propoxylates according to our customer's requirements on molecular weight, cloud point, hydroxyl value, sap value, pH HLB(hydrophilic lipophilic balance).

The addition of propylene oxide to alcohol, acid or amine can give alcohol propoxylate, acid propoxylate or amine propoxylate. Propylene oxide self-condensation can also give rise to poly propylene glycols (PPGs).

We manufacture propylene oxide condensates of

  • ALKYL PHENOL
  • FATTY ACIDS
  • FATTY ALCOHOL
  • AMINES
  • SYNTHETIC ALCOHOLS
  • OTHERS

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services

Propoxylates are surfactants produced by reacting alcohols or other compounds with propylene oxide. They are used in various applications including detergents, personal care products, and industrial formulations.

Propoxylates use propylene oxide while ethoxylates use ethylene oxide. Propoxylates typically provide better foam control and are more hydrophobic, making them suitable for low-foam applications.

Propoxylates are used in detergents, personal care products, industrial cleaners, and various applications where low-foam properties and specific performance characteristics are required.
