Abstract

The invention relates to a compound of following formula (I): a preparation process, uses thereof and compositions containing the same, wherein R1 and R2, represent, independently of one another, a linear, branched or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon-based group comprising from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, where the sum of the carbon atoms of the groups R1 and R2 ranges from 2 to 7, and where R1 and R2 may also form, together and with the carbon atom bearing them, a 6-, 7-, or 8-membered ring; n is an integer of between 1 and 100, limits included; A represents a sequence of one or more units chosen from ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide units and mixtures thereof; the group formed by R1, R2 and the carbon atom to which R1 and R2 are attached has a degree of branching equal to 0, 1 or 2.
