Description

Fatty Acids, C6-12, Ethoxylated CAS NO 84963-88-2 is a nonionic surfactant derived from the ethoxylation of a blend of medium-chain (C6-C12) fatty acids. This versatile chemical intermediate is prized for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, making it a key component in formulating high-performance industrial and consumer products. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective, biodegradable surfactant solutions.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a gentle emulsifier, solubilizer, and viscosity modifier in creams, lotions, and hair care products.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and dye leveling agent in fiber treatment and fabric finishing.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Serves as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and detergent formulations.
• Agrochemicals: Functions as an emulsifier and adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spray coverage and efficacy.
• Metal Working Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability.
• Leather Processing: Used in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to improve softness and uniformity.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acids, C6-12, Ethoxylated is manufactured under a stringent quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance and compliance with relevant industry standards. Key parameters such as hydroxyl value, acid value, and ethoxylation degree are monitored. 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, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after each use.
