Description

Alcohols, C12-14-Secondary, .Beta.-Bis(Hydroxyethyl)Amino, Ethoxylated is a specialized nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of ethoxylated amino alcohols. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, derived from its unique branched-chain fatty alcohol and amine-oxide-like structure. It is primarily used by formulators in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and personal care industries seeking high-performance, multifunctional surfactant solutions.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key emulsifier and wetting agent in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, improving tank mix stability and spray efficacy.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, lubricant, and dyeing assistant, enhancing fiber wetting and dye penetration.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild surfactant and viscosity modifier in specialized rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Aids in pigment dispersion and stabilization in water-based coating systems.
