Features Of BASF Pluronic F 127 Surfactant

  1. Thermoreversible gelling behavior: forms stable, transparent hydrogels above critical micelle temperature (CMT), enabling injectable and in situ gel-forming formulations.

  2. Highly biocompatible and non-ionic, with low cytotoxicity — widely accepted for pharmaceutical and biomedical applications.

  3. Excellent solubilizing capacity for hydrophobic actives, including APIs, vitamins, and fragrances, due to its amphiphilic triblock structure (PEO-PPO-PEO).

  4. Good foaming and wetting performance in aqueous systems, supporting formulation stability across pH 3–11.

  5. GRAS-listed (Generally Recognized As Safe) for select food-contact and oral pharmaceutical uses per FDA guidelines.

Typical Applications Of BASF Pluronic F 127 Surfactant

  1. Controlled-release drug delivery systems, especially thermosensitive injectable depots and ocular/nasal gels.

  2. Solubilizer and stabilizer in parenteral and topical pharmaceutical formulations.

  3. Template agent in nanomaterial synthesis, including mesoporous silica and polymeric nanoparticles.

  4. Surface modifier and dispersant in advanced coatings and inkjet inks.

  5. Emulsifier and viscosity modifier in personal care products such as shampoos, gels, and cleansing foams.
