Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylates family, characterized by its fatty alcohol chain (C8-C18) and an average of more than two ethylene oxide (EO) units. This versatile compound is essential for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and personal care industries, where consistent performance and reliable supply are paramount.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a primary surfactant and wetting agent in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and alkaline formulations.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to ensure stable emulsions upon dilution.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a key component in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths for effective wetting and leveling.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild emulsifier and foam booster in select rinse-off products like hand soaps and shampoos.
• Metal Working Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Aids in pigment wetting and dispersion in water-based architectural and industrial coatings.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pitch control.
• Household Cleaners: A versatile base for liquid dishwashing detergents and all-purpose cleaners.
