Description

23-Methyl-3,6,9,12,15-Pentaoxatetracosan-1-Ol is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant and specialty polyether alcohol. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, solubility in water and organic solvents, and its role as a versatile chemical intermediate. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of industrial lubricants, coatings, and advanced polymer systems where precise molecular structure and consistent performance are critical.

Application

• Industrial Lubricant Additive: Functions as a friction modifier and emulsifier in metalworking fluids, hydraulic oils, and synthetic lubricants.
• Polymer & Resin Modification: Serves as a reactive intermediate or plasticizer in the synthesis of polyurethanes, epoxy resins, and other specialty polymers.
• Coating & Ink Formulation: Acts as a wetting agent, dispersant, and flow control additive in water-based and solvent-based coatings, inks, and adhesives.
• Chemical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of more complex surfactants, pharmaceutical excipients, and agrochemical formulations.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Employed as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, or viscosity modifier in select cosmetic and personal care products.
