Description

3-[2-Hydroxy-3-(Tetradecyloxy)Propoxy]Propanol is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and chemical intermediate. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a versatile performer in complex formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable performance and formulation stability. Its structure offers a balance of hydrophilic and lipophilic character for tailored surface activity.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a non-irritating emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a wetting agent, dispersant, and penetrant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and emulsion stabilizers.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a leveling agent, dye dispersant, and softener in fiber treatment baths.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment wetting and grinding aid to improve dispersion stability in water-based systems.
• Polymerization: Can be utilized as an emulsifier or stabilizer in emulsion polymerization processes.
