Description

9-Octadecen-1-Ol, (Z)-, Polymer With Oxirane is a polymeric surfactant derived from oleyl alcohol and ethylene oxide, known for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and lubricating properties. This non-ionic polymer is valued for its ability to modify surface tension and enhance compatibility between hydrophobic and hydrophilic components in complex formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, coatings, textile, and industrial lubricant sectors seeking stable, high-performance additives.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier, thickener, and emollient in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Coatings & Inks: Used as a pigment dispersant and flow control agent to improve gloss and stability in water-based and solvent-based systems.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a lubricant, softener, and anti-static agent in fiber spinning and fabric finishing.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor, providing lubrication and surface wetting.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Polymer & Plastic Additives: Used as an internal or external lubricant and processing aid to improve mold release and surface finish.
