Polyethylene glycol tert-octylphenyl ether X-405

Polyethylene?glycol?tert-octylphenyl?ether X-405 is a nonionic surfactant commonly used in a variety of industrial and research applications. Polyethylene?glycol?tert-octylphenyl?ether X-405 belongs to the family of polyethylene glycol (PEG) ethers with a hydrophilic head and lipophilic tail and is suitable for use in emulsions, detergents and solubilizers. Polyethylene?glycol?tert-octylphenyl?ether X-405 is particularly useful in the study of membrane proteins, where it is used to solubilize and stabilize proteins for structural analysis techniques. It is also used in a variety of other applications, including drug delivery systems, nanotechnology, and diagnostic analysis. Additionally, Polyethylene?glycol?tert-octylphenyl?ether X-405 is used in the production of microemulsions, salves and lotions due to its emulsifying and solubilizing properties. However, it can be toxic if ingested or inhaled, so proper handling and safety precautions are required.
