Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.- Hydro-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, Mono-C12-13-Alkyl Ethers, Phosphates, Potassium Salts is a high-performance anionic surfactant belonging to the class of phosphate ester salts. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, along with stability in electrolyte solutions and compatibility with a wide pH range. It is a critical ingredient for formulators requiring robust performance in demanding industrial and institutional cleaning applications, as well as in various chemical processing aids.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty alkaline cleaners, degreasers, and spray-and-wipe formulations for its superior emulsification of oils and fats.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber and yarn processing, and as a component in dyeing and finishing baths.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid, improving color development and stability in aqueous coating systems.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance spray coverage and efficacy.
• Personal Care (Rinse-off products): Used in select rinse-off formulations like shampoos and body washes for its foaming and cleansing properties, though grade-specific compliance is essential.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Serves as a dispersant and processing aid in pulp slurries and paper coating formulations.
