Description

2-(2-Tetradecyloxyethoxy)Ethanol CAS NO 56049-79-7 is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and chemical intermediate belonging to the class of ethoxylated fatty alcohols. This compound matters for its excellent surface-active properties, offering a balance of hydrophilicity and lipophilicity crucial for formulating stable emulsions and dispersions. Industries such as agrochemicals, personal care, coatings, and industrial cleaning rely on this chemical for its performance as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and solubilizer.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and dispersant in agricultural formulations for herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides.
• Key ingredient in personal care products such as creams, lotions, and hair conditioners for its mildness and emulsifying power.
• Wetting and leveling agent in industrial and architectural coatings, inks, and dye systems.
• Base component for the synthesis of specialized surfactants and polymer additives.
• Formulation aid in industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning products and degreasers.
• Used in textile processing as a scouring and finishing agent.
• Potential lubricant additive and metalworking fluid component.
