Description

Fatty Acids, Tall-Oil, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a nonionic surfactant derived from tall oil fatty acids, modified with both ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) blocks. This dual modification provides a unique balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it a versatile and effective emulsifier, dispersant, and wetting agent. It is essential for formulators in industries such as agrochemicals, coatings, textiles, and metalworking fluids, where stable emulsions and surface activity are critical for product performance.

Application

• Agrochemical Emulsifiers: Key component in the formulation of pesticide and herbicide concentrates, providing excellent emulsion stability in tank mixes.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Acts as a powerful surfactant and degreaser in heavy-duty cleaning formulations for hard surfaces and machinery.
• Coatings & Inks: Used as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability in solvent-based and water-based systems.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring agent, lubricant, and dyeing assistant to improve fiber wetting and processing uniformity.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Serves as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in drilling muds and production chemicals.
• Leather Processing: Used in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to improve the softness and uniformity of leather.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Acts as a wetting and dispersing agent to improve filler incorporation and final product consistency.
