Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylates family, characterized by a fatty alcohol chain (C8-C18) and an average of more than two ethylene oxide (EO) units. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a critical component in formulating industrial and institutional cleaning products. It is essential for manufacturers in the detergent, agrochemical, textile, and personal care industries seeking effective and stable 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.
• Household Detergents: Used in liquid laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and all-purpose cleaners to enhance soil removal and foam stability.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Acts as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve efficacy and coverage.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring agent, dye leveler, and wetting agent in various textile manufacturing stages.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an emulsifier and solubilizer in products like shampoos, shower gels, and cream rinses (subject to specific grade compliance).
• Metal Working Fluids: Used as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in coolants and cutting fluids.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Serves as a dispersant and de-inking agent in paper processing.

Quality Control

Our Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistency in key parameters such as hydroxyl value, cloud point, and ethylene oxide 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 room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation.
