Description

Amide, C16 And C18-Ungesttigt, n-(Hydroxyethyl), Ethoxyliert, Propoxyliert (Mittlere Molmasse 617 G/Mol, Mittlerer Eo 2,75 Mol, Mittlerer Po 3 Mol) is a high-performance, nonionic surfactant derived from unsaturated C16/C18 fatty acids. This specialized ethoxylated/propoxylated alkanolamide offers a unique balance of detergency, emulsification, and foam stabilization properties, making it a versatile ingredient for demanding formulations. It is particularly valuable for industrial and institutional cleaning applications, personal care products, and textile processing where robust performance under varied conditions is required.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a primary surfactant and foam booster in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and vehicle wash formulations.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, lubricant, and emulsifier in fiber and fabric treatment processes.
• Personal Care: Serves as a gentle yet effective emulsifier and foam stabilizer in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in semi-synthetic and synthetic coolants and drawing compounds.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and sticking properties of pesticides and herbicides.
• Paint & Coatings: Utilized as a dispersing and wetting agent in water-based systems.
• Leather Processing: Aids in fatliquoring and dyeing processes due to its excellent emulsifying power.
