Description

1-Chloro-3-(Decyloxy)-2-Propanol is a versatile chlorohydrin ether surfactant intermediate, valued for its unique amphiphilic structure combining a long hydrophobic decyl chain with a reactive chlorohydrin group. This compound is essential for formulators seeking to synthesize specialty surfactants, emulsifiers, and polymer additives with tailored properties. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors for creating high-performance formulations.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: A key intermediate for producing nonionic and cationic surfactants used in detergents, fabric softeners, and industrial cleaners.
• Personal Care Products: Used in the manufacture of conditioning agents and emulsifiers for hair care, skin care, and cosmetic formulations.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Serves as a building block for pesticide and herbicide emulsifiers, enhancing spray efficacy and adhesion.
• Polymer Modification: Acts as a reactive modifier or chain extender in polyurethane and epoxy resin systems.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Employed in the synthesis of softening and finishing agents for textiles and leather goods.
• Oilfield Chemicals: A precursor for demulsifiers and corrosion inhibitors used in crude oil processing.
