Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-(Carboxymethyl)-.Omega.-(Tetradecyloxy)-, Sodium Salt is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and emulsifying agent belonging to the class of ethoxylated fatty alcohol ether carboxylates. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, dispersing, and detergency properties, making it a critical performance additive in demanding formulations. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical industries where stable emulsions and effective surface activity are required.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and surfactant in creams, lotions, and shampoos, providing mildness and stable emulsion systems.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Serves as a key component in heavy-duty degreasers, alkaline cleaners, and floor care products for superior wetting and soil removal.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, lubricant, and dyeing assistant to improve fiber wetting and ensure uniform dye penetration.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Functions as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing sprayability and biological efficacy.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Metal Working Fluids: Provides emulsification and lubrication in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.
