Description

Alcohols, C10-14, Ethoxylated is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of fatty alcohol ethoxylates, derived from a blend of C10 to C14 fatty alcohols reacted with ethylene oxide. This versatile surfactant is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergency properties, making it a critical component in formulating high-performance industrial and institutional cleaning products. Key industries that rely on this chemical include industrial & institutional (I&I) cleaning, textile processing, agrochemicals, and personal care, where it serves as a primary emulsifier, detergent, and wetting agent.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A primary surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and alkaline cleaning formulations for its robust detergency and grease-cutting ability.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in desizing, bleaching, and dyeing baths to ensure uniform processing and fiber penetration.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, improving the stability and sprayability of the final emulsion.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as an emulsifier and surfactant in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes, providing mild cleansing and rich foam.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and coupling agent in soluble oils and synthetic coolants, providing stability and lubrication.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as a dispersant and wetting agent in water-based systems, aiding in pigment dispersion and improving film formation.
• Household Detergents: A key ingredient in liquid laundry detergents and all-purpose cleaners for its effective soil removal and compatibility with other surfactants.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in de-inking and pulping processes as a dispersant and detergent to improve efficiency and pulp quality.

Quality Control

Our Alcohols, C10-14, Ethoxylated is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Each lot is tested against key parameters including hydroxyl value, cloud point, pH, and moisture content to confirm it meets the required specifications for your application. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting these results is provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant industry standards and can support compliance needs for REACH and other global regulatory frameworks.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
