Description

Neodol 25-3S is a high-purity, synthetic, branched primary alcohol ethoxylate surfactant. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, making it a versatile performer in demanding formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in the industrial & institutional cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical industries who require consistent quality and reliable performance.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and alkaline detergents for its robust soil removal and stability in high-electrolyte solutions.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fiber preparation, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an effective emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (EC, EW, SC).
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and cleaners.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Employed in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pitch control.
• Household Detergents: Used in formulations for hard surface cleaners and laundry detergents requiring high foam and good biodegradability.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as a surfactant in the production of acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene lattices.
