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 length and a defined minimum ethoxylation degree. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a critical component in formulating stable and effective products. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile processing, and personal care industries for its reliable performance and broad compatibility.

Application

• Primary surfactant and emulsifier in industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning formulations, including hard surface cleaners and degreasers.
• Key component in agricultural chemical formulations (herbicides, pesticides, fungicides) to enhance wetting, spreading, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Wetting and scouring agent in textile processing for desizing, bleaching, and dyeing operations.
• Emulsifier and solubilizer in the production of paints, coatings, and inks to ensure stable pigment dispersion.
• Base surfactant for household and personal care products such as laundry detergents and all-purpose cleaners.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other specialty surfactants, like sulfates and phosphates.
• Foam control and viscosity modifier in various industrial processes.
