Description

Alkyl(C-14) Polyethoxylates (Ethoxy-7) CAS NO 32241-41-1 is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylates family, characterized by a C14 alkyl chain and an average of 7 moles of ethylene oxide. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a versatile workhorse in industrial formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, industrial cleaning, and personal care industries for creating stable and effective products.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates and spray solutions.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care products for its robust cleaning and emulsification power.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, dye leveling agent, and lubricant in fiber and fabric treatment processes.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment wetting and grinding aid to improve color development and dispersion stability.
• Metalworking Fluids: Used in coolants and lubricants for its emulsifying and rust-inhibiting properties.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Acts as a de-inking agent and dispersant in pulp processing and paper recycling.
• Household Cleaners: A component in liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and laundry detergents for grease cutting and soil suspension.
