Description

Fatty Acids, C12-18, Ethoxylated is a non-ionic surfactant produced by the ethoxylation of a blend of C12 to C18 fatty acids. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a key ingredient in formulating stable and effective products. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical industries seeking high-performance, biodegradable surfactant solutions.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and thickener in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care formulations for its superior emulsification of oils and fats.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a scouring agent, lubricant, and emulsifier in fiber and fabric treatment processes.
• Agrochemicals: Serves as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing agent for pigments and a stabilizer in latex emulsions.
• Leather Processing: Used in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to improve softness and uniformity.
