About PEG/PPG-6/2 Propylheptyl Ether
PEG/PPG-6/2 Propylheptyl Ether is a raw material obtained by reacting 2-propylheptanol with an average of 6 moles of ethylene oxide and 2 moles of propylene oxide.[1] The number 6 after PPG indicates the average number of linked propylene oxide units. Together with the type of fatty component attached, this number affects how well it mixes with oils and the feel during application. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities rinse away with water, create emulsified formulations in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
