Description

2,2'-[(Octylimino)Bis(2,1-Ethanediyloxy)]Bisethanol is a specialized non-ionic surfactant and chemical intermediate belonging to the class of ethoxylated amines. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, making it a critical performance additive in complex formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the coatings, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking to improve product stability and efficacy. Its unique structure provides a balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic character, enabling its use as a versatile processing aid and stabilizer.

Application

• Coatings & Inks: Acts as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid, improving color development and stability in solvent-based and water-based systems.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and stabilizer in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (EC, SC formulations) to ensure consistent performance.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a mild surfactant and emulsifying agent in hair conditioners, skin creams, and other cosmetic products.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity additive, enhancing the performance of cutting and grinding fluids.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a leveling agent, softener, and antistatic agent in dyeing and finishing operations.
• Industrial Cleaners: Provides wetting and emulsification power in heavy-duty degreasers and institutional cleaning products.
• Polymer Production: Can be used as an intermediate or additive in the synthesis of polyurethanes and other specialty polymers.
