Description

Alcohols, C16 And C18-Unsatd., Ethoxylated is a nonionic surfactant derived from the ethoxylation of unsaturated C16 and C18 fatty alcohols. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a versatile workhorse in industrial formulations. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, and personal care industries seeking effective, stable, and biodegradable surfactant solutions.

Application

• Agrochemical Emulsifiers: A key component in pesticide and herbicide formulations, enhancing the emulsification and stability of active ingredients.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring, wetting, and leveling agent in dyeing and finishing processes for natural and synthetic fibers.
• Industrial Cleaners & Detergents: Functions as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty industrial and institutional cleaning products.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, valued for its mildness.
• Metalworking Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
• Paint & Coatings: Improves pigment wetting and dispersion in water-based architectural and industrial coatings.
• Leather Processing: Employed as a fatliquoring and wetting agent in the tanning and finishing of leather.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for coatings and fillers.
