Description

Fatty Acids, C14-18 And C16-18-Unsatd., Ethoxylated is a non-ionic surfactant derived from a blend of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids, modified with ethylene oxide. This chemical modification imparts excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, making it a versatile intermediate for downstream formulations. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective, biodegradable surfactant solutions.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and thickener in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Used as a scouring agent, lubricant, and softener in fiber and fabric processing.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Serves as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as an emulsifier and spreader in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color stability and application properties.
• Leather Processing: Used in fatliquoring and softening stages to improve leather quality and handle.
