Description

Polyoxy(methyl-1,2-ethanediyl), .alpha.-2-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)aminopropyl-.omega.-hydroxy-, ether with .alpha.-hydro-.omega.-hydroxypoly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) (1:2), mono-C12-16-alkyl ethers is a specialized nonionic surfactant and emulsifier belonging to the polyoxyethylene alkyl ether amine class. This compound is engineered to provide exceptional surface activity, wetting, and emulsification properties in complex formulations. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the personal care, agrochemical, and industrial cleaning sectors, where stable, high-performance surfactant systems are required.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, providing stable oil-in-water emulsions.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as a key wetting agent, dispersant, and emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to enhance efficacy and sprayability.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Provides superior detergency and soil suspension in heavy-duty degreasers, hard surface cleaners, and textile processing aids.
• Paint & Coating Additives: Functions as a pigment wetting and grinding aid, improving color development and dispersion stability in water-based systems.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic coolants and drawing compounds.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring, leveling, and dyeing assistant to ensure uniform processing and high-quality finishes.

Quality Control

Our production of this surfactant adheres to strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, hydroxyl value, amine value, and cloud point determination. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are available upon request. We support compliance with relevant global standards for industrial and specialty chemical manufacturing.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
