Description

Fettalkohol-Eo/Po-Addukte CAS NO 52503-51-2 are a versatile class of nonionic surfactants produced by the block co-polymerization of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) onto a fatty alcohol backbone. These compounds are highly valued for their exceptional performance in controlling foam, wetting, emulsification, and dispersion across a wide range of formulations. They are essential raw materials for formulators in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and personal care industries seeking to optimize product stability and efficacy.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in low-foaming or controlled-foaming alkaline and acidic cleaners for food & beverage, dairy, and metal processing industries.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as wetting agents, dispersants, and emulsifiers in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (EC, SC, SE formulations) to enhance spray coverage and stability.
• Textile Processing: Employed as leveling agents, dye dispersants, and lubricants in dyeing and finishing baths to ensure uniform color and reduce fiber damage.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Acts as a defoamer and dispersant in pulp washing, bleaching, and paper coating processes to improve efficiency and product quality.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, and foam modifier in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes, depending on the specific EO/PO ratio and chain length.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as a lubricity agent and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and drawing compounds.

Quality Control

Our Fettalkohol-Eo/Po-Addukte are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested against rigorous internal specifications to ensure consistent performance in your applications. Key parameters such as hydroxyl value, cloud point, viscosity, and EO/PO content are verified. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, blanketing with an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption.
