Description

Alcohols, C12-15-Branched And Linear, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a high-performance, nonionic surfactant derived from a blend of C12-15 fatty alcohols, modified with both ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) blocks. This dual alkoxylation provides a unique balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, offering superior wetting, emulsification, and detergency compared to single-alkoxylate surfactants. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial & institutional cleaning, agrochemical, and textile processing sectors who require versatile performance under challenging conditions.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty degreasers, alkaline cleaners, and floor care formulations for its excellent grease-cutting and wetting power.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Used as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance efficacy and spray coverage.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a scouring agent, dye leveling agent, and lubricant in fiber and fabric treatment processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier and coupling agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a pigment wetting and dispersing agent to improve color development and stability.
• Pulp & Paper: Utilized in de-inking and pulping processes as a detergent and dispersant.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals for emulsification and demulsification purposes.
• Household Detergents: Found in hard surface cleaners and laundry detergents requiring high solvency and low foam characteristics.
