Description

2-(Pentadecyloxy)Ethanol is a high-purity, long-chain fatty alcohol ethoxylate with a defined molecular structure, offering consistent performance as a non-ionic surfactant and chemical intermediate. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and solubilizing properties, making it a critical component in formulations requiring precise control over surface activity. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and specialty chemical industries for the production of high-performance emulsions, dispersants, and lubricants.

Application

• Primary surfactant and emulsifying agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations (e.g., creams, lotions).
• Key intermediate in the synthesis of specialized esters and ethers for lubricant additives.
• Wetting and dispersing agent in agrochemical formulations for pesticides and herbicides.
• Co-emulsifier and stabilizer in industrial and institutional cleaning products.
• Raw material for producing textile auxiliaries and fiber lubricants.
• Component in metalworking fluids and corrosion inhibitor formulations.
• Used in research and development as a model compound for studying surfactant behavior.
