Description

C8-10-Fettsuremethylester, Ethoxiliert, Mittlerer Eo 3-10 Mol is a nonionic surfactant derived from the ethoxylation of C8-10 fatty acid methyl esters, offering a defined ethylene oxide (EO) chain length range. This product matters for formulators seeking a versatile, biodegradable, and low-foaming surfactant with excellent wetting, emulsifying, and solubilizing properties. It is needed by manufacturers in the agrochemical, cleaning, textile, and personal care industries for creating stable emulsions and enhancing the performance of active ingredients.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (EC, EW, SC formulations).
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in low-foaming hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and metalworking fluids for its detergency and emulsification power.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, lubricant, and dyeing assistant due to its excellent wetting and compatibility with various auxiliaries.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild co-emulsifier and solubilizer in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing and wetting agent for pigments and fillers in water-based systems.
• Leather Processing: Used in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to improve penetration and uniformity.
