Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 386.62 g/mol gives Polyoxyethylene (25) Propylene Glycol Stearate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Polyoxyethylene (25) Propylene Glycol Stearate (CAS 37231-60-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H36O2C3H6OC2H4O, MW 386.62 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, Polyoxyethylene (25) Propylene Glycol Stearate (C18H36O2C3H6OC2H4O) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 386.62 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
