Description

8-Methyl-1-Nonanol Propoxylate-Block-Ethoxylate is a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the class of alcohol alkoxylates. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, derived from its unique branched-chain hydrophobic tail and controlled block copolymer structure of propylene oxide (PO) and ethylene oxide (EO) units. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the agrochemical, coatings, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking superior performance and stability in challenging formulations.

Application

• As a key wetting and dispersing agent in agricultural formulations such as suspension concentrates (SC) and emulsifiable concentrates (EC).
• Primary emulsifier for solvent-based systems in industrial and institutional cleaning products.
• Used in the production of polymerization surfactants and as a processing aid in various chemical syntheses.
• Effective co-emulsifier and stabilizer in water-based coatings, inks, and adhesives.
• As a leveling and scouring agent in textile processing and dyeing applications.
• Component in metalworking fluids and lubricant additives for enhanced surface activity.
