Description

Sodium 2-Ethylhexyl 2-Hydroxyethyl Phosphate is an anionic surfactant and specialty phosphate ester salt, valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and anti-static properties. This compound is particularly significant for its compatibility with a wide range of formulations and its effectiveness under demanding conditions. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the textile, personal care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking high-performance, water-soluble additives.

Application

• Textile Processing: Acts as a superior lubricant, anti-static agent, and wetting agent in fiber and yarn production, and in dyeing baths.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, body washes, and skin care products, providing rich lather and skin compatibility.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Serves as a key component in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and alkaline cleaning formulations due to its stability and emulsification power.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid, improving color development and stability in aqueous coating systems.
• Metalworking Fluids: Incorporated as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricity additive in synthetic and semi-synthetic metalworking fluids.
• Agricultural Formulations: Employed as an adjuvant and emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance spreading and adhesion.
• Plastics & Polymers: Used as an internal and external anti-static agent for plastics processing and finished polymer articles.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Applied as a defoamer component and processing aid in pulp washing and paper coating operations.
