Description

Alcohols, C14-15-Branched And Linear, Ethoxylated is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alcohol ethoxylates, characterized by a blend of C14 and C15 carbon chain alcohols with varying degrees of ethoxylation. This product is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, offering a balance of performance and mildness. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial and institutional cleaning, textile processing, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and spray-and-wipe formulations for its superior grease-cutting and wetting power.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, wetting agent, and emulsifier in desizing, bleaching, and dyeing baths.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, improving sprayability and plant coverage.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, and viscosity modifier in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as a pigment wetting and dispersing agent to improve color development and stability in aqueous systems.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant to improve pulp drainage and sheet formation.
