Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylates family, identified by CAS No. 31586-40-0. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, making it a critical component in formulating high-performance industrial and institutional cleaning products. It is essential for manufacturers in the detergent, textile, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking reliable and effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent formulations for its robust cleaning and emulsification power.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fiber preparation, dyeing, and finishing operations.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an effective emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing sprayability and efficacy.
• Metal Working Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in coolants and cutting fluids.
• Paint & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in select rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in pulping and de-inking processes for its detergent and dispersant properties.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Applied in drilling muds and production chemicals as an emulsifier and wetting agent.

Quality Control

Our Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified through parameters including hydroxyl value, cloud point, pH, and moisture content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these 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 (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to minimize moisture absorption.
