Description

Alcohols, C14-18 And C16-18-Unsatd., Propoxylated is a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant derived from a blend of unsaturated and saturated long-chain fatty alcohols. This product matters for formulators seeking excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties with enhanced solubility and mildness compared to their ethoxylated counterparts. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical industries for creating stable emulsions and effective surface-active formulations.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners, offering mildness and stable emulsion systems.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and textile scouring agents for its superior wetting and soil penetration.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a lubricant, softener, and dyeing assistant, improving fiber processability and dye uniformity.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Functions as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing tank mix stability and spray performance.
• Metal Working Fluids: Incorporated as a lubricity agent and emulsifier in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Aids in pigment wetting and dispersion, improving color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for coatings.

Quality Control

Our Alcohols, C14-18 And C16-18-Unsatd., Propoxylated undergoes rigorous quality testing to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Production adheres to ISO 9001 quality management standards. Key parameters such as hydroxyl value, propylene oxide content, and cloud point are strictly monitored. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all relevant specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at ambient temperatures (15-25°C/59-77°F). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation of the unsaturated chains.
