C12-15 Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Polyoxypropylene Ether MJ-EP2584 – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for MJ-EP2584?

A: The CAS number is 127291-12-7 — assigned to the defined C12–C15 alcohol ethoxylate/propoxylate ether composition per IUPAC naming conventions.


Q2: What is the recommended usage level in industrial cleaner formulations?

A: Typical dosage ranges from 2–8 wt% depending on soil type and water hardness; optimal performance observed at 4–6 wt% in alkaline (pH 10–11.5) hard-surface cleaners.


Q3: How does MJ-EP2584 compare to standard C12–C15 alcohol ethoxylates (e.g., MJ-EP2580)?

A: MJ-EP2584 features PO end-capping, delivering superior low-temperature stability, reduced crystallinity, lower aqueous surface tension (32 mN/m at 0.1%) and enhanced resistance to electrolyte-induced phase separation.


Q4: Is MJ-EP2584 compliant with FDA 21 CFR §173.370 for indirect food contact applications?

A: Yes — MJ-EP2584 meets the compositional and purity requirements of FDA 21 CFR §173.370 for use as a defoamer/emulsifier in equipment cleaning agents where incidental food contact may occur (max. residual limit: 0.5 ppm).


Q5: Has migration or extraction been evaluated in polymer packaging contact studies?

A: Migration testing per EU 10/2011 was conducted in PET and HDPE simulants (10% ethanol, 3% acetic acid, olive oil) at 40°C for 10 days — total extractables <0.01 mg/dm², well below the overall migration limit (OML) of 10 mg/dm².
