Description

C10E3 CAS NO 4669-23-2 is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl polyglycol ether chemical class. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in aqueous and non-aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the agrochemical, coatings, and personal care industries seeking reliable performance and batch-to-batch consistency.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide concentrates (EC, SC, EW) and adjuvant blends.
• Coatings & Inks: Used as a dispersant and grinding aid for pigments, enhancing color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Industrial Cleaners: Provides effective wetting and soil penetration in institutional and industrial (I&I) cleaning formulations.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a leveling agent, dye dispersant, and scouring aid in fabric treatment baths.
• Polymerization: Employed as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubber and plastic production.
