Description

Alcohols, C12-15-Branched And Linear, Ethoxylated is a versatile nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alcohol ethoxylates, characterized by its blend of C12 to C15 carbon chain alcohols. This product is engineered to deliver superior wetting, emulsifying, and detergency properties, making it a critical component in formulating high-performance industrial and consumer products. It is essential for manufacturers in the cleaning, textile, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking effective, low-foaming surface-active agents.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and spray-and-wipe formulations due to its excellent grease-cutting and wetting power.
• Household Detergents: Used in liquid dishwashing liquids, laundry detergents, and all-purpose cleaners for its effective soil removal and compatibility with other ingredients.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fabric preparation, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an emulsifier and spreader in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing the efficacy of active ingredients.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, offering mildness.
• Metal Working Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Used as a dispersing and wetting agent in water-based paint systems to improve pigment incorporation and stability.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Applied as a de-inking agent and dispersant in paper recycling and processing.
