PPG 15 stearyl ether

PPG 15 Stearyl Ether (CAS 25231-21-4) is a propoxylated fatty alcohol ether used across personal care, pharmaceutical, and industrial formulations as an emollient, solvent carrier, and lubricant.

It bridges the gap between oil-soluble and polar ingredients, giving formulators control over texture, spreadability, and ingredient delivery. In skin and hair care, it functions as a lightweight emollient.

It is used in serums, conditioners, and leave-on treatments to improve skin feel without the heaviness of conventional oils. Pharmaceutical topical formulations use it as a carrier to enhance active penetration.

This ensures uniform distribution across creams and ointments. In color cosmetics, it aids pigment dispersion and contributes to smooth, even application in foundations and lip products for better performance.

Industrial and metalworking lubricant formulators incorporate it for its film-forming and load-bearing properties. It is frequently utilized in cutting fluids and release agents for various manufacturing processes.

PPG 15 Stearyl Ether is supplied as a clear to slightly hazy liquid. Cosmetic-grade material conforming to standard industry purity requirements is the most common commercial form available for purchase.

It is typically available in drum and IBC quantities suited to both mid-scale formulators and large industrial buyers. This versatile chemical provides reliable stability and performance across diverse applications.
