Description

Alcohols, C12-14, Reaction Products With Ethylene Oxide is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alcohol ethoxylates, derived from a blend of C12 to C14 fatty alcohols. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in aqueous systems. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers in industries such as agrochemicals, textiles, industrial cleaning, and personal care, where consistent performance and reliable supply are critical.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, improving spray coverage and efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care products for its superior grease-cutting and emulsification power.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, dye leveler, and wetting agent in fiber treatment and fabric preparation.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing aid for pigments and fillers, enhancing stability and application properties.
• Metalworking Fluids: Used in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants for its lubricity and emulsion stability.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Applied in pulping and de-inking processes as a detergent and dispersant.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
