Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylates family, defined by its C8-C18 fatty alcohol chain and an average of more than two ethylene oxide (EO) units. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a critical component in formulating a wide range of industrial and consumer products. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, cleaning, and personal care industries for its performance and stability in various formulations.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids for its superior cleaning and emulsification power.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, dye leveler, and wetting agent in fabric preparation and dyeing processes.
• Household & Laundry Detergents: Functions as a primary surfactant providing effective soil removal and foam control.
• Personal Care Products: Employed as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, depending on the specific ethoxylation degree.
• Paints & Coatings: Aids in pigment dispersion and stabilizes emulsion polymer systems.
• Leather Processing: Used in fatliquoring and dyeing processes for uniform penetration and softening.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and demulsifiers for crude oil processing.

Quality Control

Our Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistency in key parameters such as hydroxyl value, cloud point, and ethoxylation distribution. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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, sealing under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen) is recommended to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption.
