Description

Alcohols, C6-10, Ethoxylated is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the class of fatty alcohol ethoxylates, produced by the reaction of a mixture of C6 to C10 alcohols with ethylene oxide. This versatile chemical is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a critical component in formulating high-performance industrial and consumer products. It is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical, cleaning, textile, and personal care industries seeking effective and stable surfactant solutions.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to enhance spray coverage and efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent blends for its superior grease-cutting and surface wetting abilities.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, dye leveler, and wetting agent in fabric preparation and dyeing processes.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, and viscosity modifier in products like shampoos, liquid soaps, and creams.
• Metal Working Fluids: Incorporated as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in coolants and cutting fluids.
• Paints & Coatings: Used as a dispersing and wetting agent to improve pigment dispersion and stability in aqueous systems.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Employed in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pitch control.
