Description

Peg-20 Tallowate is a non-ionic surfactant derived from the ethoxylation of tallow fatty acids. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, cleansing, and solubilizing properties, making it a key ingredient in formulations requiring effective oil-in-water emulsion stability. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, household cleaning, and industrial surfactant sectors for its ability to enhance the performance and feel of finished products.

Application

• Personal Care Formulations: Acts as a primary emulsifier and surfactant in creams, lotions, and liquid soaps, providing a rich lather and smooth skin feel.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Serves as a key component in heavy-duty degreasers, all-purpose cleaners, and floor care products for its superior grease-cutting and emulsifying power.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, lubricant, and emulsifier in fiber and fabric treatment processes to improve processing efficiency.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as an emulsifier and spreader in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance coverage and efficacy on plant surfaces.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as an emulsifier in soluble oils and synthetic coolants to stabilize the oil-water mixture and provide lubrication and corrosion inhibition.
• Leather Processing: Employed in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to aid in the even penetration and distribution of oils and dyes.
