Description

Triceteareth-4 Phosphate is a non-ionic surfactant phosphate ester, widely recognized for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties. This compound is valued for its ability to provide stable emulsions and enhance the performance of formulations in demanding industrial and personal care applications. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the cosmetics, agrochemicals, textile processing, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective and versatile surface-active agents.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing a smooth texture and improved skin feel.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, ensuring stable spray solutions and enhanced efficacy.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a wetting agent, lubricant, and emulsifier in fiber processing, dyeing, and finishing baths.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Functions as a key component in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care products due to its excellent emulsification of oils and fats.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers, improving color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Metalworking Fluids: Provides emulsification and lubrication in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting and grinding fluids.

Quality Control

Our Triceteareth-4 Phosphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency, purity, and performance meet defined specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, pH, and phosphate content is available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may affect product quality.
