Description

Sodium 3-(2-Butoxyethoxy)Propionate is an anionic surfactant and specialty chemical intermediate. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and solubilizing properties in aqueous systems. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of industrial and institutional cleaners, agrochemicals, and personal care products where mildness and compatibility are required.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant and wetting agent in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and alkaline detergents.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance efficacy and stability.
• Personal Care Products: Serves as a mild foaming and cleansing agent in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a wetting and leveling agent in dyeing and finishing baths to ensure uniform color application.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Acts as a dispersant and flow control agent to improve pigment wetting and film formation in water-based systems.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may lead to caking or reduced performance.
