Description

Alcohols C12-18 Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a high-performance nonionic surfactant synthesized from a blend of C12-18 fatty alcohols through sequential ethoxylation and propoxylation reactions. This versatile chemical offers a unique balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it an essential component for formulating stable and effective industrial and consumer products. It is particularly valued by manufacturers in the personal care, textile, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing capabilities.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, shampoos, and conditioners, providing a smooth texture and stable formulations.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care products due to its robust grease-cutting and wetting power.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, dye leveling agent, and softener base to improve fabric processing and final hand feel.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Functions as an effective emulsifier and spreader in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing coverage and efficacy.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Utilized in de-inking processes and as a dispersant to improve pulp drainage and paper quality.

Quality Control

Our Alcohols C12-18 Ethoxylated Propoxylated is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance, including parameters like hydroxyl value, cloud point, and pH. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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/59-77°F). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
