Propoxylates

What is Propoxylate?

Propoxylates are compounds made by adding propylene oxide (PO) to substrates such as alcohols, acids, amines, or oils; they include polyether polyols, surfactants, and block copolymers with EO.

What is the CAS number of Propoxylate?

The CAS number of Propoxylate is 126-00-1.

What is Propoxylate used for?

Propoxylates are used in industrial and personal care surfactants; in lubricants and defoamers; in polyurethanes and polyols; in agrochemicals; and in EO/PO block copolymers for low foam and wetting. Venus Ethoxyethers manufactures and supplies in India; request a quote for your requirements.

Propoxylation reacts propylene oxide (PO) with alcohols, acids, amines, and natural oils under alkaline or DMC catalysis—tailoring molecular weight, HLB, hydroxyl value, and performance for specialty surfactants and industrial chemicals.

Propoxylate chemistries

Alcohol propoxylates serve as nonionic surfactants in detergents and wetting agents. Acid and amine propoxylates support lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, and agrochemical formulations. Self-condensed PO yields polypropylene glycols (PPGs) for polyurethanes, defoamers, and adhesives.

Applications across industries

Propoxylated products support pharmaceuticals, construction chemicals, oilfield chemicals, paints and coatings, and polymer modification. EO/PO combinations appear in block copolymers for low-foam wetting.
