Castor Oil Ethoxylate (BY-160 / PEG-60 Castor Oil) – CAS No. 61791-12-6

Physicochemical properties

Application Areas

In the field of pesticides, as an emulsifier monomer, it is used for compounding mixed pesticide emulsions (EC), water emulsions (EW), etc., to stabilize the oil-water interface and prevent delamination.
In the field of medicine: solubilization of poorly soluble drugs (such as paclitaxel and isapilone) to improve bioavailability.
In the industrial field, it is used in coatings, inks, and textile additives to improve dispersibility and wettability.
Environmentally friendly alternative: It replaces alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (APEO) and complies with the EU REACH regulation and domestic environmental requirements.

Storage conditions

Temperature: It should be stored in a cool and shady place. The temperature inside the warehouse should be controlled below 25 ℃, with a maximum not exceeding 30 ℃, to avoid high temperatures causing product decomposition or performance degradation.
Humidity: The relative humidity should be maintained between 70-75% to prevent the product from absorbing moisture, clumping, or deteriorating.
Light exposure: Avoid direct sunlight. You can paint the windows with white paint or white powder, or use shading devices to prevent the product from deteriorating due to light exposure.
Ventilation: The storage area should be well ventilated and maintain air circulation to reduce humidity and prevent the accumulation of odors.

‌‌Safety precautions

Respiratory protection: In areas with high oil mist concentration (such as emulsifier compounding workshops), wear N95 masks or half face respirators to prevent inhalation of volatile organic compounds.
Skin and eye protection: If skin comes into contact, immediately rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention if necessary; If eye contact occurs, rinse with running water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical assistance.
Waste management: Collect waste emulsifiers, emulsifier containing wastewater, or waste liquids separately to avoid mixing with other waste materials.
