Description

Amines, C12-14-tert-Alkyl, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a versatile class of nonionic surfactants derived from tertiary alkyl amines and modified with ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) blocks. This chemical structure provides excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical performance additive in numerous industrial formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in sectors requiring robust surface activity and compatibility with various chemical systems, including agrochemicals, coatings, textiles, and personal care.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide concentrates (ECs, SCs) and adjuvant systems.
• Coatings and Inks: Used as a pigment grinding aid and dispersant to improve color development and stability in solvent-based and water-based systems.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a leveling agent, dye dispersant, and softener in various textile treatment baths.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaning: Provides effective wetting and emulsification in hard surface cleaners and degreasers.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.
• Personal Care: Employed as an emulsifier and viscosity modifier in hair care and skin care products, offering mildness.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and production chemicals for its demulsifying and dispersing characteristics.
• Polymerization: Can act as a surfactant or stabilizer in emulsion and suspension polymerization processes.
