Description

Triceteareth-4 Phosphate is a non-ionic surfactant phosphate ester, valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties. This compound is particularly effective in formulations requiring stability across a wide pH range and compatibility with various ionic species. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking high-performance, multifunctional additives.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing a rich texture and mildness to the skin.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key component in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and alkaline formulations due to its superior emulsification of oils and fats.
• Textile Processing: Used as a lubricant, antistatic agent, and dye leveling assistant in fiber and fabric treatment baths.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance sprayability and efficacy.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Aids in pigment dispersion and stabilization in water-based systems, improving color development and shelf life.

Quality Control

Our Triceteareth-4 Phosphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing parameters such as assay, phosphate content, pH, and moisture, is provided and available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect product performance.
