PPG-12-Buteth-16

PPG-12-Buteth-16 is a moderately viscous polyether emollient listed by Esteem for skin lotions, body washes, antiperspirants, deodorants and make-up — providing emolliency, solvency and a smooth feel on application.

Published on Esteem’s emollients hub alongside PPG-33-Buteth and PPG-14-Butyl ether grades; confirm the current specification before scale-up. Full family context is on the Emollients & Conditioners hub. For grade selection beyond this page, Esteem’s R&D and QA teams work from the application brief rather than a catalogue guess.

Applications

• Skin lotions and body washes needing solvency with smooth after-feel.
• Antiperspirants and deodorants where polyether emolliency helps payoff.
• Make-up formulations needing a moderately viscous, compatible emollient.

How to select the grade

• Choose it when solvency plus cushion is needed; choose PPG-14-Butyl ether style grades for a different viscosity/feel balance.
• Trial fragrance and active solubility — polyethers can change scent lift.
• State leave-on vs rinse-off use; feel targets differ sharply.

How to specify on an RFQ

Send the application, the property that must not fail (HLB/emulsion stability, wetting, foam, feel or solubility), target specification, and trial quantity. That lets Esteem match the grade to your test method instead of quoting the nearest catalogue name. Current TDS, SDS and lot COA are shared for qualified enquiries through the document library route.
