Does “PE 6800-type” mean the offered material is original BASF Pluronic® PE 6800?

No. “PE 6800-type” identifies a generic target profile, not the manufacturer or branded origin. BASF identifies Pluronic® PE 6800 as an EO/PO/EO block polymer with a powder form, nominal molecular mass around 8,000 and about 80% EO. Original-branded supply must be confirmed separately by manufacturer identity and current documentation.

Can CAS 9003-11-6 establish equivalence between two PE 6800-type products?

No. CAS 9003-11-6 covers an EO/PO block-copolymer class. It does not set molecular-mass distribution, EO/PO block composition, physical form, residuals, additives or performance. An offered grade should be compared against its own agreed controls and the intended process, rather than judged equivalent from the CAS number alone.

Which controls should be agreed before a generic PE 6800-type grade is qualified?

Confirm physical form, average molecular-mass basis, nominal EO content, hydroxyl value or viscosity as relevant, water, appearance and the methods used. Any cloud-point or performance requirement must include its test conditions. The final decision should be supported by results in the intended formulation or process, not by the PE 6800 designation alone.

PE 6800-Type EO/PO/EO Block Copolymer CAS 9003-11-6

PE 6800-type is a nonionic EO/PO/EO block-copolymer grade targeted to a nominal average molecular weight of about 8,000 and nominal EO content of about 80%. It is offered as a generic type, not as BASF original material. If BASF Pluronic® PE 6800 is specified, verify the manufacturer and current original TDS before quotation or substitution.

Parameters

Chemical identity	Oxirane, 2-methyl-, polymer with oxirane; EO/PO/EO block copolymer
Reference profile	Nominal average MW ≈8,000; nominal EO ≈80%; confirm by COA/TDS
Appearance	Powder or solid according to current grade; do not list liquid/semi-solid without TDS support
Cloud point	Supplier value and test method; BASF reference data are not a generic guarantee
Active matter	Supplier specification by COA; do not label as 99% molecular purity

Applications

For compatible industrial wetting, dispersion, emulsification, cleaning and process formulations. Validate dosage, foaming, cloud point and compatibility in the complete formulation. Regulated or personal-care uses require a qualified grade.

Storage

Store sealed and dry at the temperature stated in the current TDS/SDS. Protect powder from moisture, contamination and heat; reseal opened bags and use suitable dust-control practices.

Safety / Regulatory

Review the current SDS before handling. Control dust, use required PPE, prevent uncontrolled release and do not infer safety or regulatory suitability from a trade-name reference.
