<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>A new type of surface active block copolymer (TE type) having the general formula HO(C<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>H<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>O)<jats:sub>x</jats:sub>(CH<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>. CH<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>CH<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>CH<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>O)<jats:sub>y</jats:sub>‐(C<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>H<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>O)<jats:sub>z</jats:sub>H, was obtained by addition of ethylene oxide to polyoxytetramethylene glycols with molecular weight of 1000‐3400. TE types in which the polyoxyethylene sections comprised more than 20–25% of the total weight are soluble in water, and the relation between cloud point and oxyethylene content for TE types was similar to that for propylene oxide‐ethylene oxide block copolymers (Pluronics). Some surface active properties of TE types were examined in comparison with those of Pluronics and some other surfactants. The surface tension, foaming and antifoaming properties of TE types were comparable to those of Pluronics. Although the wetting power of TE types was poor, their suspending power (for carbon black) was superior to that of Pluronics in both aqueous and nonaqeuous media. The addition of TE types to some conventional detergents enhanced significantly their detergency. TE types showed a remarkable demulsifying action, on addition to some W/O emulsions.</jats:p>
