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 defined minimum 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 effective and stable surface-active agents.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and spray-and-wipe formulations due to its robust cleaning and grease-cutting power.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, wetting agent, and emulsifier in fiber preparation, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an effective emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (EC, EW, SC formulations).
• Household Detergents: Found in liquid laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and all-purpose cleaners for its compatibility and performance across a wide pH range.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in products like shampoos, body washes, and creams, depending on the specific chain length and EO number.
• Metal Working Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Used as a pigment wetting and dispersing agent to improve color development and stability.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Employed in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pitch control.
