Description

Alcohols, C18-22, Ethoxylated is a high-molecular-weight nonionic surfactant derived from long-chain fatty alcohols. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties in demanding industrial formulations. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, and personal care industries seeking robust performance in challenging conditions.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide concentrates (EC, SC, EW) and adjuvant systems.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring, leveling, and wetting agent in fiber treatment and dyeing processes.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an emulsifier and thickener in creams, lotions, and hair care products requiring stability.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment wetting and grinding aid to improve dispersion and stability.
• Leather Processing: Used in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to improve penetration and uniformity.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Acts as a deinking agent and dispersant in pulp processing.
