Description

Alcohols, C10-12, Ethoxylated is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the class of fatty alcohol ethoxylates, synthesized from a blend of C10 to C12 fatty alcohols reacted with ethylene oxide. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, making it a versatile workhorse in industrial formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, institutional & industrial cleaning, and personal care industries for its balance of performance and mildness.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in pesticide concentrates and spray solutions.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent blends for its robust cleaning and grease-cutting power.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, dye leveling agent, and wetting agent in various textile pretreatment and finishing processes.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes.
• Metal Working Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Used as a pigment wetting and grinding aid to improve dispersion stability in water-based systems.
• Household Detergents: A component in liquid dishwashing liquids and all-purpose cleaners for effective foam and grease removal.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Applied as a deinking agent and dispersant in paper recycling and processing.
