Soybean Phospholipid Polyoxyethylene Ether

General Information

• Product Name: Soybean Phospholipid Polyoxyethylene Ether
• Catalog: SUR-NON-073
• Applications: Water-based coatings, inks and color pastes, adhesives, metalworking fluids and coolants, leather finishing, others

Introduction

Soybean phospholipid polyoxyethylene ether (SPPE), a derivative of soybean phospholipids, represents a significant advancement in the field of surfactants. This compound is synthesized through the ethoxylation of soybean phospholipids. The ethylene oxide addition number ranges from 3 to 10. The hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value of concentrated soybean phospholipid is typically around 3 to 4. However, post-ethoxylation, the HLB value can reach between 8 and 14. This significant increase in the HLB value indicates a marked improvement in the compound's hydrophilicity, making it highly suitable for a wide range of applications.

Characteristics

The ethoxylation process not only increases the HLB value but also enhances several other properties of SPPE:

• Hydrophilicity: Improved interaction with water, facilitating its use in aqueous solutions.
• Stability: Greater chemical and physical stability, ensuring consistent performance.
• Dispersibility: Enhanced ability to disperse in different mediums, beneficial for various industrial applications.

Applications

SPPE finds applications in numerous industries due to its versatile properties:

Dairy and Instant Foods

In the food industry, SPPE is used to enhance the instant solubility of dairy and other instant food products. Its ability to act as a potent emulsifier ensures that powdered products dissolve quickly and uniformly in liquid, providing a consistent texture and taste.

Cosmetics

SPPE is highly valued in the cosmetics industry for its multifunctional benefits:

• Skin pH Adjustment: SPPE helps in maintaining the skin's hydrogen ion concentration, promoting a balanced skin environment.
• Improved Dispersibility: It enhances the distribution of active ingredients in cosmetic formulations, ensuring even application and efficacy.
• Reduced Skin Irritation: By reducing the potential for irritation, SPPE makes cosmetic products more suitable for sensitive skin.
• Enhanced Absorption and Moisture Retention: SPPE aids in the deeper penetration of active ingredients and maintains skin hydration.

Pharmaceuticals

In the pharmaceutical sector, SPPE is utilized for its dual functionality:

• Bioactivity: The bioactive properties of SPPE are harnessed in various therapeutic formulations, contributing to the overall efficacy of the medication.
• Surface Activity: Its surfactant properties are exploited in the development of intravenous fat emulsions and new anti-cancer drugs, where SPPE ensures stability and uniform distribution of the active compounds.

Leather Industry

SPPE is used in the leather industry as a fatliquoring agent. It imparts softness, fullness, and water resistance to leather products, enhancing their quality and durability.

Other Industries

SPPE also can be used as a dispersant and as an auxiliary component in textile bleaching, dyeing, paints, inks, coatings, paper manufacturing, pesticides, rubber, magnetic tapes, color films, oil extraction, and fluorescent screen production.

Packaging and Storage

• Packaging Options: Typically packaged in 200 kg plastic drums.
• Storage Conditions: Stored in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Shelf Life: 1 years
