Peregal O-10 (CAS No.: 68439-49-6), chemically named fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, is a nonionic surfactant. Its molecular structure is formed by the addition polymerization of C12-14 fatty alcohol with 10 moles of ethylene oxide (EO), endowing it with balanced hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, playing a key role in numerous industrial formulations.
The most outstanding feature of this product is its "multi-functionality in one agent" — it simultaneously possesses excellent emulsifying ability (forming fine, stable oil-in-water emulsions for various oil phases), good wetting and penetrating properties (effectively reducing liquid surface tension, quickly wetting substrate surfaces), efficient dispersing performance (preventing agglomeration and sedimentation of solid particles, ensuring a uniform and stable system), and outstanding solubilizing effect (significantly increasing the solubility of poorly soluble substances in water). In addition, its excellent chemical stability endows it with resistance to acids, alkalis, and hard water, maintaining stable performance over a wide pH range and under complex water quality conditions without forming precipitates with metal ions.
Another major advantage of Peregal O-10 is its extremely wide compatibility, allowing it to be compounded with nonionic, anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants to achieve synergistic effects. This makes it a universal auxiliary agent in industries such as textile dyeing and finishing, industrial and household cleaning, pesticide formulations, cosmetics, coatings and inks, and metalworking fluids.

Due to its balanced properties, Peregal O-10 is applicable in a wide range of scenarios:
This product is classified under GHS hazard categories as: Skin corrosion/irritation Category 2 (H315: Causes skin irritation), Serious eye damage/eye irritation Category 2 (H319: Causes serious eye irritation). When handling, wear chemical safety goggles, impermeable gloves, and protective work clothing. Recommended storage temperature is 10°C to 35°C, avoid high temperatures (>40°C) or freezing, and keep away from strong oxidizers. In case of accidental contact with skin or eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of water; if irritation persists, seek medical attention.
