Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-(Carboxymethyl)-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, C9-11-Alkyl Ethers is a high-purity, nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alkyl polyglycol ether carboxylates. This versatile chemical is engineered to deliver superior wetting, emulsification, and dispersion properties in demanding formulations. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries seeking reliable performance and supply chain stability.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, providing mildness and rich foam.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, alkaline cleaners, and floor care products for its excellent grease-cutting and wetting power.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and dye leveling agent in pretreatment and dyeing baths.
• Paint & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid in water-based systems, improving color development and stability.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide sprays to enhance spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Provides emulsification and lubrication in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.
