Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-(1-Oxotetradecyl)-.Omega.-Hydroxy-, C12-15-Alkyl Ethers is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the polyethylene glycol (PEG) ether class, specifically a PEG tetradecyl ether with a C12-15 alkyl chain distribution. This versatile chemical is engineered to provide exceptional emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in demanding industrial formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable performance and batch-to-batch consistency.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a key component in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance wetting, spreading, and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a powerful surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and textile processing aids.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid, improving color development and stability in aqueous coating systems.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants to ensure stable emulsion formation and lubricity.
• Textile Processing: Utilized as a scouring, leveling, and dyeing assistant to improve process uniformity and fabric quality.
