Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylates family, characterized by its fatty alcohol chain length and a low degree of ethoxylation. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial cleaning, textile processing, agrochemical, and paint & coatings industries seeking effective and stable surface-active agents.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and spray-and-wipe formulations for its superior wetting and soil penetration.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in desizing, bleaching, and dyeing baths to ensure uniform processing.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an effective emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (EC, EW, SC formulations) to enhance stability and spray performance.
• Paint & Coatings: Functions as a pigment wetting and grinding aid in water-based paints, improving color development and dispersion stability.
• Metal Working Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier in semi-synthetic and synthetic coolants and drawing compounds.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Serves as a de-inking agent and dispersant in paper recycling and pulp processing operations.
• Leather Processing: Used in beamhouse operations for wetting and degreasing hides and skins.
