Description

Fatty Acids, Tallow, Hydrogenated, Ethoxylated CAS NO 68153-65-1 is a non-ionic surfactant derived from the ethoxylation of fully hydrogenated tallow fatty acids. This chemical modification imparts excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, making it a versatile ingredient for demanding industrial formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, metalworking, and agrochemical industries seeking stable, high-performance surfactants.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and opacifier in cream-based personal care products like lotions, hair conditioners, and shaving creams.
• Key component in textile processing aids, functioning as a lubricant, softener, and dye-leveling agent for synthetic and natural fibers.
• Emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in semi-synthetic and synthetic metalworking fluids for machining and grinding operations.
• Wetting and dispersing agent in agricultural formulations such as pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Stabilizer and viscosity modifier in industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning products.
• Raw material for the synthesis of other specialty surfactants and quaternary ammonium compounds.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, Tallow, Hydrogenated, Ethoxylated is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for critical parameters including hydroxyl value, saponification value, acid value, and water content to ensure consistent performance and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation.
