Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), α-((2Z)-3-Carboxy-1-Oxo-2-Propenyl)-ω-Hydroxy, C16-18-Alkyl Ether, Eo 2-6 Mol is a specialized, high-performance polymeric surfactant and emulsifier designed for demanding industrial formulations. This compound is valued for its unique structure, which combines a maleic acid-derived head group with a C16-18 fatty alcohol ethoxylate tail, offering excellent surface activity and compatibility. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, coatings, and agrochemical industries seeking to stabilize complex emulsions and enhance product performance.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing a smooth texture and long-term formulation stability.
• Industrial Coatings & Paints: Used as a dispersing agent and grinding aid for pigments, improving color development, gloss, and preventing settling in water-based coating systems.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a key component in emulsifiable concentrates (ECs) and suspension concentrates (SCs) for pesticides and herbicides, ensuring stable droplet size and effective application.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a leveling agent, lubricant, and emulsifier in dyeing and finishing baths to achieve uniform color and fabric handle.
• Polymerization: Employed as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubbers, latex, and acrylic polymers.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Enhances the cleaning efficacy and foam stability of liquid detergents and hard surface cleaners.

Quality Control

Our production of Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), α-((2Z)-3-Carboxy-1-Oxo-2-Propenyl)-ω-Hydroxy, C16-18-Alkyl Ether, Eo 2-6 Mol adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency in critical parameters such as acid value, saponification value, hydroxyl value, and ethoxylate (EO) distribution. 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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and easily oxidized; therefore, containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to minimize exposure to air and moisture. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen.
