Description

Butoxynol-5 Carboxylic Acid is a specialized ethoxylated carboxylic acid surfactant, known for its excellent emulsifying and wetting properties. This compound is valued for its ability to modify surface tension and enhance compatibility in complex formulations, offering a balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic character. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the agrochemical, coatings, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, non-ionic surfactant intermediates.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers and detergent formulations for its superior wetting and soil penetration.
• Coatings & Inks: Serves as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring and wetting agent in fabric pretreatment and dyeing processes.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and production chemicals for its surfactant properties.
