Description

2-(2-(2-(Dodecyloxy)-Ethoxy)-Ethoxy)-Acetamide is a non-ionic surfactant and specialty chemical intermediate characterized by its unique polyether-amide structure. This compound matters for its ability to modify surface tension and act as a versatile building block in advanced formulations, offering a balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties. It is needed by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and polymer industries seeking effective emulsifiers, dispersants, or solubilizers for challenging active ingredients.

Application

• As a non-ionic surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetic and personal care formulations (e.g., creams, lotions).
• As a dispersing agent and stabilizer in agrochemical formulations for pesticides and herbicides.
• As a specialty intermediate for the synthesis of more complex surfactants and functional polymers.
• As a wetting and leveling agent in industrial coatings and ink applications.
• As a solubilizer for active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in pharmaceutical research and development.
• As a component in textile auxiliaries for fiber treatment and dyeing processes.
