Description

Alcohols C8-22 Ethoxylated is a versatile class of non-ionic surfactants derived from the ethoxylation of a blend of C8 to C22 fatty alcohols. This product is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical component in formulating a wide range of industrial and consumer products. It is essential for manufacturers in sectors requiring stable, efficient, and versatile surface-active agents.

Application

• Detergent & Cleaning Formulations: Acts as a primary surfactant and emulsifier in industrial and institutional cleaners, degreasers, and hard surface cleaners.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in fiber preparation, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Agrochemicals: Serves as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide formulations, enhancing spray coverage and stability.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as an emulsifier, solubilizer, and mild cleansing agent in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Leather Processing: Used in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to improve penetration and softness.
• Pulp & Paper: Functions as a deinking agent and dispersant in paper recycling and coating processes.
