Tetraethylene glycol mixture is practically an odourless and non volatile hygroscopic liquid. Tetraethylene glycol mixture contains some high and low molecular weight glycols, but is mainly composed of tetraethylene glycol.

Tetraethylene glycol is practically an odourless and non volatile hygroscopic liquid. It is characterised by two hydroxyl groups and three ether linkages. Tetraethylene glycol is a mixture containing some high and low molecular weight glycols, but consisting mainly of tetraglycol. Synonyms for tetraethylene gly...

Triethylene glycol is a colourless, odourless, non volatile hygroscopic liquid. It is characterised by two hydroxyl groups and two ether linkages, which contribute to its high water solubility, hygroscopicity, solvent properties and reactivity with many organic compounds. Traditionally it has been used for many of the same applications as diethylene glycol. Increasingly, however, it is di...

Softanol® Products are nonionic surfactants obtained by adding ethylene oxide (EO) to linear secondary alcohols having alkyl carbon atoms ranging between 12 and 14. This series includes products with different HLB values and users can select the type to suit their purpose. The products in this series have the most extensive usage. The Softanol® EP series are obtained by adding ethylene oxi...

Methoxy polyethylene glycols are addition polymers of ethylene oxide and methanol, represented by the generalised formula CH3O-(CH2-CH2-O)n-H, with Œn¹ indicating the average number of oxyethylene groups. In chemical abstracts methoxy polyethylene glycols are described under the scientific name Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl)-a-methyl-w-hydroxy in combination with the CAS register number 9004-74...

Polyethylene glycols are polymers of ethylene oxide with the generalised formula HO-(CH2-CH2-O)n-H, with Œn¹ indicating the average number of oxyethylene groups. In chemical abstracts polyethylene glycols are described under the scientific name Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl)-a-hydro-w-hydroxy in combination with the CAS register number 25322-68-3. In the European Pharmacopoeia the name ³Macrogo...

INEOS Lauryl alcohol ethoxylates are non-ionic surfactants obtained by adding ethylene oxide (EO) to linear fatty alcohols having alkyl carbon atoms ranging between 12 and 16. The lauryl alcohol ethoxylates are designated by the name ‘AE' followed by a number indicating the average number of ethylene oxide molecules added. AE2, AE3, AE5 and AE7 are viscous liquids at room temperature. AE9...

Glycol ethers can be produced by the reaction of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol or butanol with ethylene oxide. This range can be further extended by reaction of other alcohols or other epoxides, such as propylene oxide and with its state-of-the-art technology Ineos Oxide can offer the capability to make a variety of glycolethers. For special product needs however, please conta...

Ethylene oxide is a colourless gas at ambient temperature which condenses when cooled to a colourless, mobile liquid boiling at 10.4°C. It is miscible in all proportions with water, alcohol, ether and many organic solvents. The vapours of ethylene oxide are extremely flammable and are toxic if inhaled. Synonyms for ethylene oxide are epoxyethane, dimethylene oxide, ethene oxide and oxirane...

ENB or ethylidenenorbornene is a bicyclic monomer and intermediate that contains two double bonds, each with quite different reactivity. Thus, it is possible to react one of the double bonds, and retain the other double bond for subsequent reaction. ENB is used predominantly as a diene monomer in the manufacture of EPDM (Ethylene-Propylene-Diene-monomer) rubber. ENB is registered in chem...
