What is PPG-3 Caprylyl Ether CAS 29117-02-0?

PPG-3 Caprylyl Ether is a polypropylene glycol caprylyl ether listed in cosmetic ingredient references under CAS 29117-02-0 and EC 800-105-9. It is normally supplied as a colorless to light-yellow transparent liquid with a characteristic odor.

Is PPG-3 Caprylyl Ether water soluble?

Typical supplier data describe PPG-3 Caprylyl Ether as insoluble or low in water solubility, with a density around 0.910 g/cm3 at 20 C. Its pH and viscosity vary by grade, so the offered cosmetic-grade specification should be confirmed before formulation work.

Which parameters should be checked before selecting this ingredient?

Confirm appearance, odor, density, pH of a 5% suspension, water content, acid value, color, viscosity, and residual solvent or process impurities. The average PPG chain length and cosmetic-grade regulatory status should also be matched to the target formulation.

How should PPG-3 Caprylyl Ether be stored and handled?

Store it in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, and strong oxidizers. Use suitable PPE, prevent spills and contamination, and follow the applicable handling procedures and local cosmetic ingredient requirements.

Product Description

PPG-3 Caprylyl Ether CAS 29117-02-0 is a polypropylene glycol caprylyl ether listed in cosmetic ingredient references under EC 800-105-9.

Synonyms: PPG-3 Caprylyl Ether; Poly[oxy(methyl-1,2-ethanediyl)], α-octyl-ω-hydroxy-.

CAS: 29117-02-0.

Molecular formula: (C3H6O)nC8H18O.

It is normally supplied as a colorless to light-yellow transparent liquid with a characteristic odor.

It is used mainly as a solvent and foam-boosting cosmetic ingredient in shampoos, conditioners, hair treatments, and cleansing formulations.

It can also help improve spreadability, sensory feel, and compatibility in formulated personal-care systems.

In hair care formulations it is used as a solvent and foam-boosting ingredient depending on grade and formulation design.

In cleansing formulations it contributes to foam behavior, sensory feel, and ingredient compatibility.

In skin and personal-care systems it is used where a compatible PPG caprylyl ether is required.

It may also be used in specialty personal-care formulations subject to cosmetic-grade confirmation and regulatory review.

Typical supplier data describe it as insoluble or low in water solubility, with a density around 0.910 g/cm3 at 20 °C.

Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat, ignition sources, and strong oxidizers.

Use suitable PPE and prevent spills and contamination.

Confirm the offered package, net weight, lot traceability, and transport requirements before dispatch, and follow the current SDS.

Every batch is checked for appearance, odor, density, pH of a 5% suspension, water content, acid value, color, viscosity, and residual solvent or process impurities, with COA/TDS/SDS supplied per grade.

Confirm appearance, density, pH, acid value, viscosity, PPG chain length, packaging, and cosmetic-grade regulatory status as required.
