Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the class of fatty alcohol ethoxylates, characterized by its alkyl chain length of C8 to C18 and an average of more than two moles of ethylene oxide (EO). This versatile chemical is engineered to provide excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a critical component in formulating stable and effective products. It is essential for manufacturers in the industrial cleaning, textile processing, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking reliable performance and formulation flexibility.

Application

• As a primary surfactant and emulsifier in industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning formulations, including hard surface cleaners and degreasers.
• As a wetting and dispersing agent in the production of agrochemicals, such as pesticides and herbicides.
• As a key ingredient in textile processing aids for scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations.
• As an emulsifier and solubilizer in the formulation of personal care products like creams, lotions, and shampoos.
• As a component in metalworking fluids and industrial lubricants for improved surface wetting and stability.
• As a processing aid in the pulp and paper industry for de-inking and pulp washing.
• As a detergent base in the formulation of household and commercial laundry products.

Quality Control

Our Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent performance characteristics such as hydroxyl value, cloud point, and pH. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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, the use of an inert atmosphere (nitrogen blanket) is recommended to prevent oxidation and maintain product integrity.
