Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylate family, characterized by a fatty alcohol chain length of C8 to C18 and an average ethoxylation degree exceeding 2 moles of ethylene oxide. This versatile compound is a critical raw material valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties in aqueous systems. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers across the detergent, textile, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking effective and stable surface-active agents.

Application

• Detergent & Cleaning Formulations: Acts as a primary surfactant or co-surfactant in liquid laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and industrial & institutional (I&I) cleaners, providing grease cutting and soil suspension.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fiber preparation, dyeing, and finishing baths to ensure uniform processing.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Serves as an emulsifier, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations, enhancing the efficacy and spread of active ingredients.
• Personal Care Products: Employed in the production of shampoos, shower gels, and other cleansing products for its mild foaming and cleansing characteristics.
• Industrial Emulsions: Functions as an emulsifier for oils, waxes, and solvents in metalworking fluids, leather processing, and paint formulations.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Utilized in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pitch control.

Quality Control

Our Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistency in key parameters such as hydroxyl value, cloud point, and ethoxylate distribution. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical properties, and performance characteristics 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 (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use.
