Description

2-[2-[2-(Tridecyloxy)Ethoxy]Ethoxy]Ethanol CAS NO 4403-12-7 is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether chemical family. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical performance additive in advanced formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable and effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products for stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a wetting agent, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticides, herbicides, and foliar fertilizers to enhance efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and detergent formulations.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a leveling agent, dye dispersant, and scouring aid in textile manufacturing.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment wetting and grinding aid to improve dispersion stability and color development.
• Metalworking Fluids: Used as an emulsifier in soluble oils and synthetic coolants for lubrication and corrosion inhibition.
