Description

Talloweth-4 is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the class of ethoxylated fatty alcohols, specifically derived from tallow. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a key component in formulating stable and effective products. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical industries.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care formulations.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and lubricant in fiber processing and dyeing baths.
• Agrochemicals: Functions as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading and penetration.
• Leather Processing: Employed as a fatliquoring agent and emulsifier in leather treatment.
• Paints & Coatings: Aids in pigment dispersion and stabilization in various coating systems.
