Description

Alkohol, C8-10, Ether Mit Polyethylenglykol Mono-Butylether, Mittlerer Eo 4 Mol is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the class of alcohol ethoxylates, specifically a C8-10 fatty alcohol reacted with an average of 4 moles of ethylene oxide and terminated with a butyl group. This structure provides a unique balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it an effective emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant. It is a critical performance additive in industrial formulations requiring stable emulsions and surface tension reduction, such as agrochemicals, coatings, and cleaning products.

Application

• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spray coverage and plant penetration.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a surfactant and degreaser in heavy-duty cleaning products for hard surfaces and machinery.
• Coatings & Inks: Serves as a pigment dispersant and flow control agent in water-based and solvent-based coating systems.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in coolants and cutting fluids.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring agent, dye leveler, and softener in fabric treatment baths.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used in drilling muds and production chemicals as an emulsifier and demulsifier component.
• Leather Processing: Aids in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to ensure even penetration and soft finish.
• Household Cleaners: Formulated into all-purpose cleaners and degreasers for its effective surfactant properties.
