Description

Fatty Acids, C14-18 And C16-18-Unsatd., Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a non-ionic surfactant derived from a blend of C14-C18 fatty acids, including unsaturated C16-C18 components, which have been modified with both ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) blocks. This chemical structure provides a unique balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it an exceptionally versatile and effective emulsifier, dispersant, and wetting agent for demanding formulations. It is a critical raw material for industrial manufacturers seeking to improve the performance and stability of their products, particularly in sectors like agrochemicals, textiles, and personal care where controlled solubility and surface activity are paramount.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and stabilizer in agricultural formulations such as herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides.
• Key component in textile processing aids, including fiber lubricants, spin finishes, and dyeing assistants.
• Versatile surfactant for industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning products, offering good detergency and compatibility.
• Emulsifier and solubilizer in specialty coatings, paints, and resin systems.
• Intermediate for the synthesis of more complex surfactant molecules and specialty esters.
• Additive in metalworking fluids for lubrication and corrosion inhibition.
• Processing aid in the leather industry for fatliquoring and finishing.

Quality Control

Our production of Fatty Acids, C14-18 And C16-18-Unsatd., Ethoxylated Propoxylated adheres to a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance characteristics such as hydroxyl value, acid value, saponification value, and cloud point. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these parameters are provided to guarantee product integrity and traceability for our global B2B clients.

Storage

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