Description

Ethanol, 2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)-, 2''-[(C12-15-Branched And Linear Alkyl)Oxy] Derivs., Hydrogen Sulfates, Sodium Salts is a high-performance anionic surfactant belonging to the alkyl ether sulfate class, distinguished by its branched and linear C12-15 alkyl chain and ethoxylated spacer. This molecular architecture provides excellent wetting, emulsifying, and foaming properties, particularly in challenging formulations containing electrolytes or requiring stability across a wide pH range. It is a critical raw material for industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical formulations where robust performance under hard water conditions is essential.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A primary surfactant in heavy-duty floor cleaners, degreasers, and alkaline cleaning formulations due to its high electrolyte tolerance and foam stability.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, scouring aid, and emulsifier in dyeing and finishing baths, where it promotes even dye penetration and removal of oils and waxes.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Functions as a key component in pesticide and herbicide formulations, enhancing the spreading and sticking of active ingredients on plant surfaces.
• Metal Working Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and drawing compounds.
• Personal Care (Rinse-off products): Can be used in formulations for shampoos, body washes, and hand soaps requiring rich lather and mildness, subject to appropriate grade and certification.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as a surfactant in the production of latex polymers for paints, coatings, and adhesives, ensuring stable particle size distribution.
