Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylates family, characterized by its fatty alcohol chain length and a controlled degree of ethoxylation. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, making it a versatile workhorse in numerous industrial formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the cleaning, textile, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking reliable performance and consistent quality.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and spray-and-wipe formulations due to its effective grease-cutting and wetting action.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, wetting agent, and emulsifier in dyeing and finishing baths to ensure uniform processing and high-quality fabric.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an effective emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing spray coverage and active ingredient efficacy.
• Household Detergents: Found in liquid laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and all-purpose cleaners for its superior cleaning and foam control properties.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in products like shampoos, body washes, and creams, where its specific ethoxylation grade ensures skin compatibility.
• Metal Working Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in coolants and cutting fluids, providing stability and performance in machining operations.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment wetting and dispersing agent, improving color development and stability in aqueous coating systems.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Utilized in de-inking processes and as a dispersant to improve pulp processing and paper quality.
