Description

Polyethylene Monoalcohol CAS NO 71750-71-5 is a synthetic, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the class of fatty alcohol ethoxylates. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and personal care sectors seeking reliable performance and supply chain stability.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a primary surfactant and emulsifier in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and detergent formulations.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Used as a wetting agent, spreader, and emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance foliar coverage and efficacy.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, lubricant, and dyeing assistant to improve fiber wetting and processing uniformity.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a mild emulsifier and foam booster in select rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers to improve stability and application properties.
• Metal Working Fluids: Used as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in soluble oil and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.

Quality Control

Our Polyethylene Monoalcohol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested against key parameters including hydroxyl value, ethylene oxide content, and cloud point to ensure consistent performance and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality.
