Features Of BASF Pluronic PE 4200 Surfactant

  1. Non-ionic triblock copolymer based on poly(ethylene oxide)-poly(propylene oxide)-poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO-PPO-PEO) architecture.

  2. High molecular weight (approx. 4,200 g/mol) providing enhanced steric stabilization in demanding colloidal systems.

  3. Excellent water solubility and low foaming characteristics across a broad pH range (pH 3–11).

  4. Thermoresponsive behavior with well-defined cloud point, enabling temperature-triggered phase separation for process control.

  5. Low toxicity profile and compliance with major regulatory frameworks including FDA 21 CFR §172.856 and EU REACH.

Typical Applications Of BASF Pluronic PE 4200 Surfactant

  1. Stabilizer in pharmaceutical emulsions and nanostructured drug delivery systems (e.g., micelles, liposomes).

  2. Dispersing agent for high-solids pigment formulations in industrial coatings and inkjet inks.

  3. Emulsifier and viscosity modifier in personal care emulsions, especially in rinse-off and leave-on products.

  4. Template and structure-directing agent in the synthesis of mesoporous silica and metal oxide nanomaterials.
