Cremophor EL-10
Cremophor EL-10 is a nonionic polyoxyethylene castor oil surfactant with multiple functions including organic solubilizer, mixed zinc anode corrosion inhibitor and dendrite growth inhibitor. By forming a physical barrier to block electrolyte contact and constructing oriented hydration channels to reduce the desolvation energy barrier of Zn2+ , Cremophor EL-10 achieves a corrosion inhibition efficiency of over 99%. Cremophor EL-10 exerts no significant effects on the mitochondrial activity and cell viability of epithelial cells, making it suitable for in vitro drug delivery and biopharmaceutical research at concentrations ≤10% v/v. However, Cremophor EL-10 may induce sustained non-endothelium-dependent contraction in rat aortic rings and exert concentration-dependent inhibitory effects on acetylcholine-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation responses.

Biological Activity
Cremophor EL-10 (100-500 mg/L; 6 h) potently inhibits static corrosion of pure zinc plates in 6 M KOH solution, achieving >90% inhibition efficiency at 100 mg/L and reaching a near-maximum inhibition efficiency near 98% at concentrations ≥400 mg/L after 6 h immersion[3].
Cremophor EL-10 (400 mg/L; 6 h) adsorbs onto pure zinc plates in 6 M K+OH? solution at 400 mg/L after 6 h immersion, forming a surface film composed of its molecular components as confirmed by characteristic ATR-FTIR peaks[3].
