Description

C8-18 And C18-Unsaturated Alkyldicarboxylic Acid, Triethanolamine Salt is a versatile anionic surfactant salt, valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties derived from its unique fatty acid chain structure. This compound is critical for formulating stable, high-performance products where effective surface activity and compatibility are required. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical industries.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care formulations for superior wetting and soil suspension.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a dye leveling agent, dispersant, and lubricant in fiber treatment and finishing baths.
• Agrochemicals: Functions as an effective emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment grinding aid and dispersant to improve color development and stability.
• Metalworking Fluids: Enhances the emulsification and stability of coolants and lubricants.
• Leather Processing: Aids in fatliquoring and dyeing processes for uniform application and softness.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Used as a dispersant and deinking agent in paper recycling and coating processes.
