Product Description
Product Overview
GPE 3000 CAS 9082-00-2, also known as Polyoxyethylene Polyoxypropylene Glycerol Ether, is supplied as a nonionic polyether material based on a glycerol-initiated EO/PO copolymer structure. It is more appropriate to position this product as an industrial polyether surfactant and formulation ingredient rather than as a broad consumer-care material, because the page content consistently emphasizes low-foam processing, wetting control, dispersing performance, and industrial system compatibility.
This product is suitable for detergent systems, metalworking fluids, textile auxiliaries, defoaming-related applications, and other industrial formulations where process stability and nonionic compatibility are required. Technical documents such as COA, TDS, and SDS may be provided according to the supplied grade.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
What is the chemical structure of GPE 3000 CAS 9082-00-2?
A: GPE 3000 (CAS 9082-00-2) is a glycerol-initiated ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) block copolymer. As a nonionic polyether with EINECS 500-036-1, its molecular weight is approximately 3000 g/mol with variable EO/PO chain lengths depending on the specific production specification. -
Q:
What are the key quality specifications for Polyoxyethylene Polyoxypropylene Glycerol Ether GPE-3000?
A: Typical quality parameters include hydroxyl value, pH (5.0-7.0 for 1% aqueous solution), color ≤20 Pt-Co, and density approximately 1.02 g/mL at 25°C. The product is supplied as a colorless to pale yellow transparent viscous liquid with specific EO/PO composition ratios per grade. -
Q:
How does the EO/PO block structure affect GPE-3000 performance?
A: The EO segments provide hydrophilic character and water solubility, while the PO segments contribute hydrophobic properties and low-foam behavior. This block copolymer structure gives GPE-3000 tunable surface activity, controlled wetting and dispersion performance, and defoaming characteristics suitable for industrial formulations. -
Q:
What are the primary industrial applications of GPE-3000?
A: GPE-3000 is primarily used as a low-foam nonionic surfactant in detergent systems, a wetting and dispersing agent in metalworking fluids, a process auxiliary in textile processing, and a defoaming component in industrial formulations requiring nonionic compatibility and process stability. -
Q:
What are the solubility characteristics of GPE-3000?
A: GPE-3000 is soluble in water, alcohols, and ethers due to its EO content, but is not suitable for non-polar solvent systems such as petroleum ether. Its solubility profile depends on the EO/PO ratio and can be adjusted for specific formulation requirements. -
Q:
What storage conditions are recommended for GPE-3000?
A: GPE-3000 should be stored in sealed containers at temperatures between 5°C and 30°C, protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Under proper storage conditions, the product maintains its specified quality for at least 12 months from the date of manufacture.
