Description

Linoleic Acid Ethoxylated Diesters is a non-ionic surfactant derived from linoleic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, through ethoxylation and subsequent diester formation. This chemical is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, making it a versatile functional additive. It is primarily used in industrial formulations requiring stable oil-in-water emulsions and surface tension reduction, serving sectors such as agrochemicals, textiles, and personal care.

Application

• Agrochemical Emulsifiers: Key component in pesticide and herbicide formulations for emulsifying active ingredients and improving spray coverage on plant surfaces.
• Textile Processing Aids: Used as a scouring, leveling, and softening agent in fiber treatment and dyeing processes.
• Industrial Lubricants & Metalworking Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and coolants.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a non-ionic emulsifier and emollient in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability.
• Household & Institutional Cleaners: Provides detergency and emulsification in hard surface cleaners and degreasers.

Quality Control

Our Linoleic Acid Ethoxylated Diesters are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency in parameters such as hydroxyl value, saponification value, acid value, and ethoxylate content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment to guarantee product integrity and traceability.

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 product is easily oxidized; for long-term storage, consider maintaining under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen blanket) to preserve quality. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
