Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-Hydro-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, Mono-C12-15-Alkyl Ethers, Phosphates, Potassium Salts is a potassium phosphate ester of a C12-15 alcohol ethoxylate, functioning as a specialized anionic surfactant. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, particularly in challenging formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and agrochemical sectors seeking high-performance, salt-tolerant surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, offering mildness and compatibility with electrolytes.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty alkaline cleaners, degreasers, and metal cleaning formulations for its stability in high-electrolyte environments.
• Agrochemicals: Serves as an effective wetting agent and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing spray coverage and system stability.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring agent, lubricant, and dye leveling assistant due to its excellent emulsifying power for oils and fats.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid in water-based systems, improving color development and preventing settling.
• Metalworking Fluids: Provides emulsification and lubrication in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
