Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the class of fatty alcohol ethoxylates, characterized by its C8-C18 alkyl chain and an average of more than two ethylene oxide (EO) units. This versatile compound is essential for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators and manufacturers in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and personal care sectors seeking effective and stable surface-active agents.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and alkaline formulations for its robust grease-cutting and wetting power.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve spray coverage and active ingredient dispersion.
• Textile Processing: Employed in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths to enhance penetration of chemicals and ensure uniform dye application.
• Metal Working Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant to improve pulp drainage and sheet formation.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as a primary or secondary surfactant in the production of acrylic, styrene-butadiene, and vinyl acetate polymers.
