Description

Alcohols, C14-18 And C16-18-Unsatd., Ethoxylated Propoxylated is a high-performance, nonionic surfactant derived from a blend of C14-18 and unsaturated C16-18 fatty alcohols, modified with both ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) blocks. This unique molecular architecture provides exceptional versatility, balancing hydrophilic and lipophilic properties for superior emulsification, wetting, and detergency. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile processing, and personal care industries seeking robust, low-foam performance.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care formulations, offering excellent grease cutting and low foam properties.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Used as an emulsifier, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide formulations, enhancing the efficacy and stability of active ingredients.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, lubricant, and dyeing assistant, providing effective wetting and emulsification of oils and waxes on fibers.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer in the production of acrylic, vinyl acetate, and styrene-butadiene latexes.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as an emulsifier and solubilizer in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes, where its mildness and surfactant properties are valued.
• Paints & Coatings: Used as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid, improving color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Leather Processing: Applied in beamhouse operations for degreasing and wetting hides, improving the penetration of tanning agents.
