Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-(1-Oxodecyl)-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, C12-15-Alkyl Ethers is a high-performance, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the class of polyethylene glycol (PEG) ethers of fatty alcohols. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical component in formulations requiring stability and performance. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, household & industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical industries.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, enhancing texture and stability of oil-in-water emulsions.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Serves as a key surfactant in liquid detergents, hard surface cleaners, and degreasers for its superior wetting and soil removal capabilities.
• Textile Processing: Used as a lubricant, leveling agent, and emulsifier in fiber spinning, dyeing, and finishing operations to improve process efficiency and fabric quality.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Functions as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve the spreading, adhesion, and penetration of active ingredients.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers, ensuring uniform color and preventing agglomeration in water-based systems.
• Metalworking Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oils and coolants, providing lubrication and rust protection.
