Description

Linolenic Acid Ethoxylated Monoesters CAS NO 61596-59-6 is a non-ionic surfactant derived from linolenic acid, a polyunsaturated ω-3 fatty acid, through ethoxylation. This chemical modification enhances its water solubility and surfactant properties, making it a versatile intermediate and functional additive. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaning products, personal care items, and as an emulsifier or dispersant in various chemical processes.

Application

• Primary surfactant or co-surfactant in liquid detergents, hard surface cleaners, and industrial degreasers.
• Emulsifying agent for agricultural formulations such as pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Key ingredient in personal care products like shampoos, shower gels, and skin cleansers for its mildness and foaming properties.
• Dispersant and wetting agent in textile processing and dyeing applications.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of more complex specialty surfactants and esters.
• Additive in polymerization processes and latex production.
• Component in lubricant and metalworking fluid formulations.

Quality Control

Our Linolenic Acid Ethoxylated Monoesters are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance. Key parameters such as degree of ethoxylation, hydroxyl value, and acid value are monitored. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its polyunsaturated nature, this product is easily oxidized; it is recommended to store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) for long-term preservation and to minimize peroxide formation. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
