Description

Alcohols, C6-12, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alkoxylated fatty alcohols, synthesized from a blend of C6 to C12 alcohols reacted with both ethylene oxide and propylene oxide. This versatile chemical offers a unique balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic properties, making it an effective emulsifier, wetting agent, and detergent component. It is essential for formulators in industries such as agrochemicals, industrial & institutional cleaning, textiles, and personal care, where controlled solubility, surface activity, and compatibility are required.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, improving spray coverage and stability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a primary surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and metalworking fluids for superior oil removal and surface wetting.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring agent, dyeing assistant, and lubricant to enhance fiber processing and dye penetration.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing a smooth texture and stable formulations.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing and wetting agent in water-based and solvent-based systems to improve pigment dispersion and film formation.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and production chemicals as an emulsifier and foaming agent.
