Description

Alcohols, C10-16, Ethers With Polyethylene Glycol Monobenzyl Ether is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alcohol ethoxylates, specifically a benzyl-capped polyethylene glycol ether of C10-16 fatty alcohols. This chemical is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a versatile performance additive in demanding formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and coatings sectors where stable emulsions and surface activity are critical.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant and emulsifier in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care products.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (EC, SC formulations) to ensure stable spray solutions.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and dye leveling agent in fiber treatment and dyeing baths.
• Coatings & Inks: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability in solvent-based and water-based systems.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used in drilling muds and production chemicals as an emulsifier and surfactant for enhanced oil recovery processes.
