Description

Alcohols, C10-16, Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of alcohol alkoxylates, specifically a mixed ethoxylate/propoxylate of C10-16 fatty alcohols. This versatile chemical offers a balanced profile of wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, making it a critical component in formulating high-performance industrial and institutional cleaning products. It is essential for manufacturers in the detergent, agrochemical, textile, and personal care industries seeking effective, stable, and low-foaming surfactants.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Primary surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and alkaline cleaning formulations.
• Detergent Intermediates: Key raw material for the production of sulfate and sulfonate anionic surfactants via sulfation.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier, wetting, and dispersing agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Textile Processing: Functions as a scouring, wetting, and leveling agent in dyeing and finishing operations.
• Metal Working Fluids: Acts as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Employed as a de-inking agent and dispersant in paper recycling and processing.
• Personal Care (Rinse-off products): Found in formulations for shampoos, body washes, and hand soaps requiring rich lather and mildness.
