Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylates family, characterized by its fatty alcohol chain length and a defined minimum degree of ethoxylation. This compound is valued for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties, making it a versatile workhorse in industrial formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, institutional & industrial cleaning, and personal care industries for creating stable and effective end products.

Application

• Primary emulsifier and wetting agent in agricultural pesticide and herbicide formulations.
• Key component in industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning products and detergent concentrates.
• Emulsifier and solubilizer in textile processing aids, including scouring and dyeing.
• Base surfactant for metalworking fluids and industrial degreasers.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of other specialty surfactants like sulfates and phosphates.
• Co-emulsifier in latex polymerization processes.
• Additive in paint and coating formulations to improve wetting and dispersion.
• Raw material for household and personal care products requiring mild surfactancy.

Quality Control

Our Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate is produced under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance, including determination of hydroxyl value, ethylene oxide content, and cloud point. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters 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, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to minimize moisture absorption.
