Description

[2-[2-(Hexyloxy)Ethoxy]Ethoxy]Acetic Acid Sodium Salt is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant intermediate and specialty chemical. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, water solubility, and utility as a versatile building block for more complex surfactants and functional materials. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors for formulating stable emulsions, enhancing solubility, and modifying surface tension.

Application

• Surfactant & Emulsifier Synthesis: A key intermediate for producing non-ionic and anionic surfactants with tailored hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB).
• Personal Care Formulations: Used in shampoos, body washes, and creams as a mild surfactant and solubilizing agent for fragrances and active ingredients.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Enhances the efficacy of pesticides and herbicides by improving wetting, spreading, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A component in degreasers and hard-surface cleaners for its emulsifying and soil-suspending properties.
• Textile Processing: Acts as a wetting agent and dye leveling assistant in textile dyeing and finishing operations.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Serves as a functional monomer or additive to impart hydrophilicity and improve compatibility in polymer systems.
• Laboratory Research: Used as a standard or reagent in chemical research for studying surfactant behavior and micelle formation.
