Description

Alcohols, C13-15, Ethoxylated is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of fatty alcohol ethoxylates. This versatile chemical is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, making it a critical component in formulating high-performance industrial and consumer products. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the cleaning, textile, agrochemical, and personal care industries to enhance product efficacy and stability.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent formulations for its superior grease-cutting and wetting power.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, wetting agent, and emulsifier in fiber preparation, dyeing, and finishing operations.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an effective emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, improving sprayability and plant coverage.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in products like shampoos, shower gels, and creams, where it helps to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in coolants and cutting fluids.
• Paints & Coatings: Used as a dispersant and flow aid to improve pigment wetting and stability in aqueous systems.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Applied as a de-inking agent and dispersant in paper recycling and pulp processing.
