Chemical Structure

Polyethylene glycol 12-hydroxystearate CAS 61909-81-7 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C20H40O4, Polyethylene glycol 12-hydroxystearate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 344.53 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Polyethylene glycol 12-hydroxystearate (CAS 61909-81-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H40O4 and a molecular weight of 344.53 g/mol.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Polyethylene glycol 12-hydroxystearate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
