Product Overview

What is 2-Phenoxyethanol?

2-Phenoxyethanol is the phenyl ether of ethylene glycol: a clear, colourless, slightly oily liquid with a faint rose-like odour, produced by reacting phenol with ethylene oxide. It is only partly soluble in water, around 2.7%, but mixes freely with alcohols, glycols and most organic solvents.

As a preservative it is active against Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria and, in combination with other actives, against yeasts and moulds. It is stable across a wide pH range and tolerates heat well, which makes it a dependable alternative to parabens and formaldehyde donors.

Beyond personal care it serves as a fixative in perfumery, a preservative in pharmaceutical preparations and vaccines, and a high-boiling solvent in inks, dyes, coatings and cleaning products. Chelora Chemicals UAE supplies cosmetic, pharmaceutical and technical grades across the UAE and wider GCC.
