Description

23-Methyl-3,6,9,12,15-Pentaoxatetracosan-1-Ol is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and specialty polyether alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, solubility in water and organic solvents, and its role as a versatile chemical intermediate. It is essential for formulators and manufacturers in industries requiring precise control over wetting, emulsification, and dispersion processes.

Application

• Polymer & Resin Modification: Acts as a reactive diluent or chain transfer agent in the synthesis of polyurethanes, epoxy resins, and acrylics.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as a key surfactant and wetting agent in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners.
• Coatings & Inks: Used as a flow and leveling agent, dispersant, and viscosity modifier in water-based and solvent-based formulations.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products due to its mild nature.
• Agrochemicals: Employed as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading, penetration, and stability.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Used as a lubricant, softener, and dye-leveling agent in various treatment baths.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Applied as a component in drilling muds and demulsifiers for crude oil processing.
