Description

Ethanol, 2-(2-Butoxyethoxy)-, Phosphate, Potassium Salt is a specialized organophosphate surfactant and anionic emulsifier, valued for its excellent wetting, dispersing, and stabilizing properties in complex formulations. Its unique chemical structure, combining a butoxyethoxy chain with a phosphate ester salt, makes it a critical performance additive in demanding industrial processes. This product is essential for manufacturers in sectors such as agrochemicals, coatings, and metalworking fluids, where reliable emulsification and surface activity are paramount.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a primary emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (EC, SC formulations).
• Industrial Coatings & Inks: Used as a wetting and dispersing agent for pigments and fillers in water-based and solvent-based systems.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting fluids and coolants.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a leveling agent, lubricant, and antistatic agent in fiber treatments and dye baths.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Functions as a surfactant and degreaser in heavy-duty cleaning formulations.
• Polymerization: Can be utilized as an emulsifier in the production of certain polymers via emulsion polymerization.
