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.
