Description

Alcohols, C10-12, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alcohol alkoxylates, specifically a block copolymer of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) on a C10-12 fatty alcohol backbone. This chemical structure provides a versatile balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it an effective emulsifier, wetting agent, and detergent. It is essential for formulators in industries such as agrochemicals, industrial & institutional cleaning, textiles, and personal care, where controlled surface activity and compatibility are required.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide concentrates (EC, SC, EW) and adjuvant blends.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaning formulations, and floor care products for its excellent detergency and grease-cutting power.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, dye leveling agent, and lubricant in fiber and fabric treatment processes.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an emulsifier and solubilizer in cream, lotion, and hair care formulations, offering mildness.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability.
• Metalworking Fluids: Provides emulsification and lubrication in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pulp slurries.

Quality Control

Our Alcohols, C10-12, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to ensure consistent performance, including analysis of key parameters such as hydroxyl value, cloud point, and EO/PO content. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting full specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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, blanketing with an inert gas (e.g., nitrogen) is recommended to maintain product stability.
