Description

C10E5 CAS NO 23244-49-7 is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl polyglycol ether family, specifically a decanol ethoxylate. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical performance additive in numerous industrial formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the agrochemical, coatings, textile, and personal care industries where stable emulsions and surface activity are required.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing spray coverage and efficacy.
• Coatings and Paints: Serves as a dispersant and stabilizer for pigments and fillers, improving color consistency and preventing settling.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring, wetting, and leveling agent in dyeing and finishing operations to ensure uniform treatment.
• Industrial Cleaners: Functions as a surfactant in heavy-duty and institutional cleaning products for degreasing and emulsification.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as an emulsifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products for stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• Polymerization: Can be used as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubber and plastic production.
