Description

Alcohols, C13-15-Branched And Linear, Ethoxylated is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alcohol ethoxylates, synthesized from a blend of C13 to C15 synthetic alcohols. This product is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, offering a favorable balance between performance and mildness. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial & institutional cleaning, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and spray-and-wipe formulations due to its robust grease-cutting and wetting power.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve spray coverage and active ingredient dispersion.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a scouring agent, lubricant, and dyeing assistant in various textile manufacturing stages.
• Metal Working Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and coupling agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes, depending on the specific ethoxylation degree.
• Household Detergents: Used in liquid laundry detergents and all-purpose cleaners for its effective soil removal and compatibility with other ingredients.

Quality Control

Our Alcohols, C13-15-Branched And Linear, Ethoxylated is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent performance parameters such as hydroxyl value, cloud point, and pH. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, a nitrogen blanket is recommended to prevent oxidation. Ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption.
