Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylates family, characterized by its fatty alcohol chain length and a defined minimum degree of ethoxylation. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, making it a versatile workhorse in industrial formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the cleaning, textile, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking effective and stable surface-active agents.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and spray-and-wipe formulations for its superior grease-cutting and wetting power.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, wetting agent, and emulsifier in fiber preparation, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an effective emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (EC, EW, SC formulations).
• Household Detergents: Found in liquid laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and all-purpose cleaners for its compatibility and cleaning performance across a range of temperatures and water hardness levels.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as an emulsifier, solubilizer, and mild surfactant in products like shampoos, shower gels, and skin cleansers.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as a pigment wetting and dispersing agent to improve color development and stability in aqueous systems.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant to improve pulp drainage and sheet formation.
