Description

Rape Oil, Ethoxylated is a non-ionic surfactant derived from the ethoxylation of rapeseed oil, a renewable resource. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a key component in formulating high-performance industrial and consumer products. It is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, personal care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective, biodegradable, and sustainable surfactant solutions.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and wetting agent in herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides, improving spray coverage and efficacy.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring, leveling, and softening agent in dyeing and finishing operations for natural and synthetic fibers.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care products due to its strong grease-cutting ability.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a gentle emulsifier and emollient in skin creams, lotions, and hair care products, leveraging its plant-based origin.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers, enhancing color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Leather Processing: Utilized in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to improve softness, lubrication, and dye penetration.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Aids in de-inking processes and acts as a dispersant for pitch control.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Can be used in drilling muds and emulsion breakers as a biodegradable surfactant component.

Quality Control

Our Rape Oil, Ethoxylated is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch is tested against critical parameters to ensure consistent performance and purity for your applications. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with key specifications such as hydroxyl value, saponification value, cloud point, and pH. Our commitment to quality supports compliance with relevant industry standards for industrial and specialty chemical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to avoid moisture absorption.
