Description

Alcohols, C9-11, Ethoxylated CAS NO 68439-46-3 is a non-ionic surfactant derived from a blend of C9 to C11 fatty alcohols reacted with ethylene oxide. This product matters for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, making it a versatile workhorse in numerous industrial formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, and cleaning product industries seeking effective and stable surface-active agents.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent blends for its robust cleaning and foam control.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, dye leveler, and wetting agent in fabric preparation and dyeing baths.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability.
• Household Detergents: A component in liquid laundry detergents and all-purpose cleaners for enhanced soil removal.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Used as a surfactant in the production of polymers like acrylics and styrene-butadiene.
• Personal Care (Industrial Grade): Found in some industrial-grade formulations for its emulsifying properties.
