Description

C14E6 CAS NO 5157-04-0 is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether family, specifically a hexaethylene glycol monomyristyl ether. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical performance additive in advanced formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors for creating stable and effective products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Key emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products for stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a non-ionic surfactant in topical ointments, creams, and as an excipient to enhance drug solubility.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Improves the spreading, wetting, and penetration of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Acts as a primary surfactant and degreaser in heavy-duty cleaning formulations and detergent systems.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a wetting agent and lubricant in fiber processing and dyeing baths.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers to improve stability and application properties.
• Research & Development: Used as a standard or reagent in biochemical and material science research for studying surfactant behavior.
