Description

2-Ethylhexanol, Ethoxylated and Phosphated is a specialized nonionic surfactant intermediate, synthesized by the sequential ethoxylation and phosphorylation of 2-ethylhexanol. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and antistatic properties, making it a critical component in high-performance industrial formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, metalworking, and personal care industries for creating stable emulsions and enhancing product performance.

Application

• Agrochemical Emulsifiers: A key intermediate in the synthesis of phosphate ester surfactants used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to ensure stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a lubricant, antistatic agent, and wetting agent in fiber production and fabric finishing processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting oils and coolants.
• Personal Care & Detergents: Used as a mild surfactant intermediate in the production of specialized cleansing products and industrial & institutional (I&I) cleaners.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a pigment dispersant and wetting agent to improve the stability and application properties of water-based coatings.
• Plastic & Polymer Additives: Serves as an internal antistatic agent and processing aid for various polymer resins.

Quality Control

Our 2-Ethylhexanol, Ethoxylated and Phosphated is produced under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency in parameters such as degree of ethoxylation, phosphate content, acid value, and hydroxyl value, meeting the specifications required for industrial applications. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your quality standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
