Description

Alcohols, C13-15-Branched And Linear, Butoxylated Ethoxylated is a high-performance, nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alkoxylated alcohols, specifically engineered with a blend of butylene oxide and ethylene oxide units. This molecular architecture provides a unique balance of wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a versatile workhorse in demanding formulations. It is a critical raw material for industrial manufacturers seeking to enhance the performance and stability of their products across cleaning, coatings, and process chemical applications.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and spray-and-wipe formulations, providing excellent grease cutting and soil suspension.
• Metalworking Fluids: Used as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and drawing compounds.
• Coatings & Inks: Functions as a pigment dispersant and wetting agent in water-based paints, coatings, and printing inks to improve color development and stability.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring agent, dye leveler, and finishing aid due to its effective wetting and emulsification of oils and waxes.
• Agricultural Formulations: Serves as an adjuvant and emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing spray coverage and active ingredient penetration.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and production chemicals as an emulsifier and viscosity modifier.
• Leather Processing: Aids in fatliquoring and dyeing processes by promoting even penetration of chemicals and dyes.
• Household & Personal Care: Found in hard surface cleaners and some rinse-off products where its robust cleaning and low-foam characteristics are beneficial.
