Description

Alcohols, C8-10, Ethoxylated CAS NO 68603-25-8 is a non-ionic surfactant derived from a blend of C8 to C10 fatty alcohols reacted with ethylene oxide. This versatile chemical offers excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, making it a critical component in formulating high-performance industrial and consumer products. It is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, cleaning, and personal care industries seeking effective and stable surface-active agents.

Application

• Surfactant in Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in pesticides, herbicides, and foliar fertilizers.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key ingredient in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and detergent blends for its superior cleaning and foam control.
• Textile Processing Aid: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes as a wetting and leveling agent.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Metal Working Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in cutting oils and coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as a dispersing and wetting agent in water-based formulations to improve pigment stability.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pulp.

Quality Control

Our Alcohols, C8-10, Ethoxylated is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency and compliance with industry specifications. Key parameters such as hydroxyl value, cloud point, and ethylene oxide content are monitored. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity and physical properties are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to minimize moisture absorption.
