Description

Fatty Alcohols, Ethoxylated CAS NO 308061-37-2 are a versatile class of nonionic surfactants produced by the reaction of fatty alcohols with ethylene oxide. These compounds are essential for their excellent emulsifying, wetting, dispersing, and cleaning properties across numerous industrial formulations. They are a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, household & industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical industries seeking effective and stable surface-active agents.

Application

• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Primary surfactant and emulsifier in liquid detergents, hard surface cleaners, and degreasers.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Key ingredient in shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, and creams as a gentle emulsifier and foam booster.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fiber lubrication and dyeing processes.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates for improved sprayability and efficacy.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability.
• Metal Working Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and coolants.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pitch control.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as a primary or secondary surfactant in the production of latex polymers.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Alcohols, Ethoxylated are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for key parameters including hydroxyl value, cloud point, pH, moisture content, and color to ensure consistency and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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. Under these conditions, the product is typically stable for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
