Pentaglyme

Pentaglyme (CAS 1191-87-3 ), also known as 2,5,8,11,14,17-Hexaoxaoctadecane, is a high-boiling, aprotic polyether solvent used across pharmaceutical, personal care, and industrial cleaning formulations. Its low volatility and strong solvating power make it a preferred carrier in applications where conventional solvents evaporate too quickly or introduce unwanted reactivity in the mixture. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, this compound functions as a reaction solvent and carrier for active ingredients where aprotic, non-reactive media are required for chemical stability. Personal care formulators incorporate it as a humectant and solvent in skin-conditioning products, where its moisture-retention profile supports texture and ingredient stability over time. Industrial and institutional cleaning formulations use it to dissolve and carry surfactants or actives in hard-surface cleaners and degreasers for professional maintenance applications. Its compatibility with both polar and non-polar components also makes it useful in specialty electrolyte systems and battery research applications within the energy storage sector. The product is supplied as a clear liquid in drum and IBC quantities, with smaller packaging available for laboratory and development use to meet specific research needs. Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with high-purity grades available for pharmaceutical and electrochemical applications. Buyers should confirm purity specifications based on end-use. Contact us for supply of Pentaglyme Request Quote
