Product Information

Tetronic® EO/PO block copolymers are amine-based tetrafunctional nonionic surfactants. Four EO/PO arms extend from a central ethylenediamine group, giving a four-arm architecture that anchors more strongly at surfaces than linear block copolymers and delivers emulsification, wetting, and hydrotropic performance in health industry formulations. The portfolio is formaldehyde-free, label-free, and thermally and chemically stable, and it reaches molecular weights up to 25,000, well above the standard Pluronic® range.

Key Benefits

  • Tetrafunctional emulsifier, wetter, and hydrotrope
  • Water soluble across the range
  • Moderately biodegradable
  • Prill form available for improved handling and storage
  • Alkaline pH range of 8 to 10

 

How to Compare Tetronic® Grades:

  • HLB – Determines whether a grade is better suited for oil-in-water (O/W) or water-in-oil (W/O) systems.
  • Molecular Weight – Influences viscosity, solubilization, and polymer performance.
  • EO Content – Higher EO increases hydrophilicity, while lower EO increases lipophilicity.
  • Physical Form –Determines handling and processing fit; available as paste or prill.
