Description

Fatty Acid, Ethoxylated CAS NO 9006-28-4 is a nonionic surfactant produced by the reaction of fatty acids with ethylene oxide. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, making it a critical component in formulating stable and effective products. It is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, textile processing, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable performance and formulation flexibility.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and thickener in creams, lotions, and hair conditioners.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring, leveling, and softening agent in dyeing and finishing operations.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an effective emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaning: Functions as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care products.
• Paints & Coatings: Employed as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development and stability.
• Leather Processing: Used in fatliquoring and dyeing processes to ensure even penetration and soft finish.

Quality Control

Our Fatty Acid Ethoxylates are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing to ensure consistent performance, including measurement of hydroxyl value, saponification value, and cloud point. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, ethoxylation degree, and physical 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, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed immediately after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
