Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylates family, characterized by its fatty alcohol chain (C8-C18) and an average of more than two ethylene oxide (EO) units. This versatile chemical is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a critical component in numerous industrial formulations. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, cleaning, and personal care industries seeking effective and stable surface-active agents.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to improve spray coverage and efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent formulations for its robust cleaning and grease-cutting power.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring, wetting, and leveling agent in dyeing and finishing processes to ensure uniform color and fabric treatment.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an emulsifier and solubilizer in products like creams, lotions, and hair care items, though specific grade compliance must be verified.
• Metal Working Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier in coolants and cutting oils to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions.
• Paints & Coatings: Aids in pigment dispersion and wetting to improve the stability and application properties of aqueous-based formulations.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Utilized in de-inking processes and as a dispersant to enhance pulp bleaching and paper quality.
