Description

Oxirane, Methyl-, Polymer With Oxirane, (C12-C16) Alkyl Ethers is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alkoxylated alcohols, specifically a block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide capped with a C12-C16 fatty alcohol. This chemical structure provides excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a versatile performance additive. It is primarily used in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations, agrochemicals, and as a processing aid in various manufacturing sectors where controlled surface activity is required.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant and wetting agent in heavy-duty floor cleaners, degreasers, and alkaline detergents.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve efficacy and tank-mix stability.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a leveling agent, scouring aid, and dye dispersant in fabric preparation and dyeing processes.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and coupling agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment wetting and grinding aid to improve color development and dispersion stability.
• Pulp & Paper: Used in de-inking formulations and as a dispersant for fillers and coatings.
