Q1: What is Poly(ethylene glycol-co-propylene glycol) monobutyl ether?
A: It is a versatile liquid copolymer based on CAS 9038-95-3, SINOSURF® BPE. It is made by balancing water-loving (EO) and oil-loving (PO) chemical chains. This unique structure gives it excellent lubricity, great surface wetting, and temperature-dependent water solubility.
Q2: What are the common uses of this EO/PO monobutyl ether fluid?
A: Its main uses are divided into three major fields. In textiles, it is used as a base lubricant for high-speed fiber spinning. In agriculture, it works as an emulsifier and wetting helper for pesticide sprays. In general machinery, it serves as a high-temperature base fluid for synthetic gear oils and hydraulic liquids.
Q3: Can SINOSURF® BPE directly replace UCON 50-HB-260 or TOXIMUL 8320?
A: Yes, absolutely. you can choose SINOSURF® BPE. It shares the exact same CAS number, matches the viscosity (50-56 cSt at 40°C), and has the same HLB value (12.0).
Q4: Where can I buy high-quality CAS 9038-95-3 in large quantities?
A: Our brand SINOSURF® BPE offers wholesale factory pricing, guaranteed low moisture (≤0.15%), and steady batch-to-batch quality. We support orders ranging from a single testing drum to multi-container contracts. Contact our sales desk today for an instant price quote!
