Description

Alcohols, C16-22, Ethoxylated is a high-performance nonionic surfactant derived from the ethoxylation of a blend of long-chain C16 to C22 fatty alcohols. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical component in formulating stable and effective industrial products. It is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, leather, and personal care industries seeking reliable performance in demanding applications.

Application

• Primary Emulsifier in agricultural formulations such as herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides.
• Textile Processing Aid for scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations to improve wetting and leveling.
• Leather Industry Auxiliary used in fatliquoring and dyeing processes for uniform penetration and softness.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners as a key surfactant for heavy-duty degreasers and detergents.
• Metalworking Fluids component, providing emulsification and lubrication.
• Paper & Pulp Chemicals for de-inking and as a dispersant.
• Personal Care base for cream and lotion formulations requiring stable emulsions.
• Oilfield Chemicals used in drilling muds and production chemicals for emulsification and demulsification.
