Description

Alcohols, Tallow, Propoxylated is a non-ionic surfactant derived from natural tallow fatty alcohols that have been reacted with propylene oxide. This chemical modification imparts valuable properties such as enhanced hydrophobicity, emulsification, and lubricity, making it a versatile intermediate. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of industrial lubricants, metalworking fluids, textile auxiliaries, and as a raw material for further ethoxylation to create a range of surfactant products.

Application

• Primary intermediate for the production of ethoxylated tallow alcohol surfactants (used in detergents and cleaners).
• Key component in industrial lubricants and metalworking fluids for its lubricating and anti-wear properties.
• Emulsifier and wetting agent in textile processing and fiber lubricants.
• Raw material for polymer and plasticizer synthesis.
• Base fluid for specialty greases and functional fluids.
• Used in the formulation of agricultural adjuvants and pesticide emulsifiers.
• Intermediate for personal care and cosmetic ingredients (after further processing).

Quality Control

Our Alcohols, Tallow, Propoxylated is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent hydroxyl value, propylene oxide content, and viscosity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere (nitrogen blanket) to prevent oxidation.
