Description

Alkohol(C8-C18)Ethoxylate Mit >2 Eo is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the alcohol ethoxylates family, characterized by its fatty alcohol chain length and a defined minimum number of ethylene oxide units. This versatile compound is essential for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in aqueous systems. It is a critical raw material for formulators in the industrial cleaning, agrochemical, textile processing, and personal care industries seeking reliable performance and supply chain stability.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty degreasers, floor cleaners, and spray-and-wipe formulations for its superior grease-cutting and wetting power.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an effective emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing spray coverage and active ingredient efficacy.
• Textile Processing: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths as a detergent and leveling agent to ensure uniform treatment of fibers.
• Metal Working Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier in soluble oils and semi-synthetic coolants, providing stability and lubrication.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid, improving color development and stability in water-based systems.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as a mild surfactant and emulsifier in rinse-off products like shampoos and body washes, depending on the specific chain length and EO number.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Utilized in de-inking processes and as a dispersant to improve pulp drainage and sheet formation.
