Description

Tetraethylene Glycol Monotetradecyl Ether is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether family. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical performance additive in demanding formulations. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable and consistent raw materials.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a wetting agent, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance efficacy and spray coverage.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for superior soil removal.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a leveling agent, lubricant, and emulsifier in dyeing and finishing processes to ensure uniform color and fabric quality.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment wetting and grinding aid to improve color development, stability, and application properties.
• Polymerization: Can be utilized as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization processes for the production of synthetic latexes and resins.

Quality Control

Our Tetraethylene Glycol Monotetradecyl Ether is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, composition, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, hydroxyl value, and ethylene oxide content are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
