Description

Alcohols, C12-13, Branched And Linear, Ethoxylated is a high-performance nonionic surfactant derived from a blend of C12 and C13 fatty alcohols. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, offering a balance of performance and mildness. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial & institutional cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and personal care industries seeking effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and spray-and-wipe formulations for its superior grease-cutting and wetting power.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an effective emulsifier, dispersant, and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing spray coverage and efficacy.
• Textile Processing: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths as a wetting agent and detergent to ensure uniform processing and high-quality results.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes, as well as in skin care emulsions.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersant and wetting agent to improve pigment dispersion and stability in water-based systems.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant to improve pulp processing and paper quality.
