PPG-14 Butyl Ether

PPG-14 Butyl Ether is a synthetic glycol ether created by reacting propylene oxide with butanol to form a polymer chain with an average of 14 propylene glycol units. This clear, low-viscosity liquid serves as an excellent solvent for both water-soluble and oil-soluble ingredients, making it particularly valuable in formulations requiring solubilization of fragrances, essential oils, or other lipophilic components in aqueous systems. Formulators choose it for its ability to reduce the greasy feel of heavy emollients while improving product spreadability and providing a light, non-tacky skin feel.
