Description

Oxirane, Ethyl-, Homopolymer, Monoisotridecyl Ether is a specialized non-ionic surfactant and chemical intermediate belonging to the class of poly(ethylene glycol) isotridecyl ethers. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, offering a balance of hydrophilicity and lipophilicity derived from its polyethylene oxide chain and branched isotridecyl tail. It is primarily utilized in industrial formulations requiring robust wetting, emulsification, and dispersion performance, particularly in sectors like coatings, agrochemicals, and industrial cleaning.

Application

• As a key emulsifier and dispersant in agricultural chemical formulations (herbicides, pesticides, fungicides).
• As a wetting and leveling agent in water-based paints, coatings, and inks to improve film formation and substrate coverage.
• As a surfactant and coupling agent in industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning products and degreasers.
• As a stabilizer and processing aid in the manufacture of polymers and synthetic latexes.
• As a co-emulsifier in the production of cutting fluids, metalworking fluids, and lubricant additives.
• In the formulation of textile auxiliaries for scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes.
