Description

Alcohols, C12-14, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alcohol alkoxylates. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, derived from its unique block copolymer structure of ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) units. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and personal care sectors seeking robust performance and formulation flexibility.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and dairy/brewery cleaners for superior soil removal.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an effective emulsifier, dispersant, and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Textile Processing: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths to enhance wetting and level dyeing.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Serves as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment wetting and grinding aid to improve dispersion stability.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pitch control.
