Description

Poly(Ethylenepropylene)Glycoltridecylether is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alkoxylated fatty alcohol ethers. This versatile chemical offers excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a critical performance additive in numerous industrial formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in sectors requiring stable emulsions, effective cleaning, or surface modification. Key industries that utilize this product include agrochemicals, coatings, textiles, and industrial cleaning.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates and emulsions in oil (EO).
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care products for its superior grease-cutting and emulsification power.
• Coatings & Inks: Serves as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability in water-based and solvent-based systems.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a leveling agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in dyeing and finishing operations.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Polymerization: Can be used as an emulsifier or stabilizer in emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubbers and plastics.
• Personal Care: May be utilized as a surfactant or emulsifier in select rinse-off products, depending on the specific grade and purity.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Applied in drilling muds and production chemicals for emulsification and demulsification purposes.
