Description

Alcohols, C11-13-Branched, Ethoxylated is a high-performance nonionic surfactant derived from synthetic branched C11-13 alcohols reacted with ethylene oxide. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, coupled with good chemical stability and low foam characteristics. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial & institutional cleaning, textile processing, agrochemical, and personal care industries seeking effective and versatile surface-active agents.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and floor care formulations for its superior wetting and soil penetration.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, wetting agent, and emulsifier in dyeing and finishing baths.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an effective emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (EC, SC, EW).
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as a surfactant and emulsifier in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes, where mildness is required.
• Metal Working Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Aids in pigment wetting and dispersion in water-based systems.
• Pulp & Paper: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant.
