Description

C14-15 Pareth-7 is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylate family, synthesized from a blend of C14-15 fatty alcohols and 7 moles of ethylene oxide. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, making it a versatile workhorse in formulating industrial and institutional cleaning products. Key industries that rely on this surfactant include household & industrial cleaning, agrochemicals, textiles, and personal care, where it provides a reliable balance of performance and mildness.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A primary component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and alkaline detergents for its robust soil removal and wetting power.
• Household Cleaning Products: Used in formulations for liquid dishwashing detergents, all-purpose cleaners, and hard surface cleaners.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an effective emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring agent, wetting agent, and emulsifier in various textile pretreatment and finishing processes.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, and solubilizer in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes.
• Metal Working Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Used as a dispersing and wetting agent to improve pigment incorporation and stability in aqueous systems.
