Description

Dobanol 25-3 is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylate family, identified by CAS NO 58391-12-1. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, making it a critical performance additive in demanding industrial formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the industrial & institutional cleaning, textile processing, agrochemical, and paint & coatings sectors for its reliable performance and consistency.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent formulations for its robust soil removal and emulsification power.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fiber pretreatment, dyeing, and finishing operations.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an effective emulsifier and dispersant in the production of pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Paint & Coatings: Acts as a pigment wetting and dispersing agent to improve color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Metal Working Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and cleaners.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Functions as a de-inking agent and dispersant in paper recycling and processing.
