Description

Dodoxynol-12 is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkylphenol ethoxylate family. Its unique structure provides excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical performance additive in numerous industrial formulations. This chemical is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, coatings, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable and effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing spray coverage and efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care products for its robust detergency and emulsification of oils.
• Coatings & Paints: Serves as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid, improving color development and stability in water-based and solvent-based systems.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring, leveling, and wetting agent in dyeing and finishing operations to ensure uniform results.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier in soluble oils and synthetic coolants, providing stability and lubrication.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and demulsifiers for its interfacial activity and compatibility with harsh conditions.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Aids in the dispersion of fillers and improves the wetting of substrates.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as a surfactant in the production of polymers like acrylics and styrene-butadiene latex.
