Description

Glycols, 1,2-, C12-16, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant derived from C12-16 fatty alcohols, featuring a unique block copolymer structure of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) units. This molecular architecture provides exceptional versatility, balancing hydrophilic and lipophilic properties for superior wetting, emulsification, and detergency. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and personal care sectors seeking robust, low-foam performance aids.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant and coupling agent in heavy-duty degreasers, alkaline cleaners, and floor care formulations, offering excellent grease cutting and low foam properties.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Used as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance foliar spreading and active ingredient efficacy.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a lubricant, scouring agent, and dyeing assistant, improving fiber processing and color uniformity.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and drawing compounds.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersant and flow control agent to improve pigment wetting and stability in water-based systems.
• Personal Care (Rinse-off products): Used as a surfactant and foam booster in shampoos, body washes, and other rinse-off formulations, providing mildness and rich lather.
