Description

Alcohols, C9-16, Ethers With Polyethylene Glycol Mono-Me Ether is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the class of alcohol ethoxylates. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in a wide range of formulations. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile, and coatings industries seeking effective surface-active performance.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and detergent formulations.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticides, herbicides, and adjuvant systems to enhance efficacy and spray coverage.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, dye leveling agent, and wetting agent in fiber treatment and dyeing processes.
• Coatings & Paints: Functions as a dispersant and flow aid in water-based and solvent-based coating systems to improve pigment stability and application properties.
• Metal Working Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and drawing compounds.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics (Industrial Grade): Used in the manufacture of industrial-grade emulsifiers for creams and lotions.
