Description

Tergitol is a well-known series of nonionic surfactants, specifically secondary alcohol ethoxylates, widely recognized for their excellent wetting, dispersing, and emulsifying properties. The grade identified by CAS NO 68894-53-1 is a critical component in industrial formulations requiring robust performance and compatibility. It is essential for manufacturers and formulators seeking to enhance the efficacy and stability of their products across diverse sectors.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and spray-and-wipe formulations for its superior wetting and soil removal.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and dye leveling agent in fiber preparation and dyeing baths.
• Agricultural Formulations: Acts as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve spray coverage and efficacy.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersant and flow control agent to stabilize pigment suspensions and improve film formation.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Utilized in pulping and de-inking processes for its dispersing and detergent properties.
