Description

Alcohols, C13-15-Branched And Linear, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a high-performance, nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alcohol alkoxylates, offering a unique balance of wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties. Its tailored molecular structure, featuring a blend of branched and linear C13-15 alcohol chains modified with both ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) units, provides superior performance in demanding formulations compared to standard ethoxylates. This versatile chemical is essential for formulators in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and personal care industries seeking enhanced stability, compatibility, and efficacy.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key wetting agent and emulsifier in heavy-duty degreasers, alkaline cleaners, and floor care products, effectively removing oils and soils.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (EC, SC, EW formulations) to improve tank-mix stability and spray application.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a scouring agent, lubricant, and leveling agent in dyeing and finishing processes for synthetic and natural fibers.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, and solubilizer in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes, as well as in leave-on creams.
• Metalworking Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and coupling agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants, providing stability and corrosion protection.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid in water-based systems to improve color development and stability.
• Pulp & Paper: Used in de-inking formulations and as a dispersant for controlling pitch and stickies.

Quality Control

Our Alcohols, C13-15-Branched And Linear, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance and meets specifications for critical parameters such as hydroxyl value, cloud point, and moisture content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these results are available upon request. We can support compliance with relevant industry standards, including those for REACH and other global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption.
