Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-(2-Chloroethyl)-.Omega.-(Decyloxy)- is a specialized non-ionic surfactant and chemical intermediate belonging to the class of polyoxyethylene alkyl ethers with a reactive chloroethyl end group. This unique bifunctional structure provides both surface-active properties and a site for further chemical modification, making it a versatile building block for formulators. It is primarily sought by industries requiring high-performance surfactants, emulsifiers, or reactive intermediates for advanced synthesis.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier: Used in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaners, degreasers, and emulsion polymerization processes.
• Chemical Intermediate: The reactive chloroethyl terminus allows for further functionalization, making it a key precursor in synthesizing quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), betaines, and other specialty surfactants.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, leveling agent, and softener in textile auxiliaries and leather treatment chemicals.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Employed as an adjuvant, emulsifier, or dispersant in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to enhance efficacy and stability.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, or viscosity modifier in rinse-off products where specific reactive functionality is needed downstream.
• Polymer Additive: Can be used as an internal or external lubricant and processing aid in various plastic and resin systems.
