Butanol Random Polyether, specifically grade BPE-1500 or chemically defined as Polyalkylene Glycol Monobutyl Ether, is a nonionic copolymer synthesized from ethylene oxide and propylene oxide initiated with butanol. This substance functions as a high-performance functional fluid and base stock, offering inverse solubility characteristics and excellent lubricity in industrial lubricant formulations and hydraulic systems. It is typically applied in the production of water-soluble metalworking fluids, quenchants, and heat transfer fluids where shear stability and low residue formation are required. We ensure bulk supply with competitive factory pricing for industrial clients. Our inventory is managed to support customized specifications, and every shipment is accompanied by complete MSDS, TDS, COA documentation.

Application Areas
- It belongs to polymeric surfactants and possesses unique properties. Generally, it is non-hygroscopic, with low toxicity and foaming power, good dispersibility, strong emulsifying ability, and good low-temperature fluidity.
- Used in low-foaming detergents, emulsifiers, defoamers, fabric leveling agents, antistatic agents, metal cutting coolants, high-speed spinning oil lubricants, and adhesives.
- Used as a smoothing agent in chemical fiber oil agents.
Storage conditions
Environmental requirements: Store in a cool, well-ventilated warehouse or covered shed, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent product deterioration or volatilization due to high temperatures.
Containers and packaging
Tightness: Store in a sealed container to prevent air and moisture from entering and causing a decline in product performance.
Material selection: Corrosion-resistant materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, galvanized iron drums, or plastic drums can be chosen to ensure the mechanical strength of the packaging.
Storage period: Typically 2 years
Safety precautions
Hazard: Non hazardous material, but avoid contact with strong oxidants.
Operation protection: Wear protective gloves, goggles, and protective clothing during operation to avoid skin and eye contact.
Emergency response: If accidentally touched, immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek medical assistance.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does CAS 9038-95-3 cover different molecular weights like BPE-1500?
A: Yes, CAS 9038-95-3 is the generic registry number for the polymer class formed by reacting oxirane and methyl oxirane with butanol. BPE-1500 identifies a specific viscosity grade or molecular weight (typically around 1500 MW) within this broader chemical registration. -
Q:
Is this product intended for use as a base oil in industrial lubricants?
A: Yes, this material is typically applied as a synthetic base stock or additive in industrial lubricants, particularly in water-glycol hydraulic fluids and metalworking applications, due to its ability to provide lubrication while maintaining water solubility or dispersibility.
