C13-15 Alcohol Ethoxylate (CAS 157627-86-6), also known as Alcohols C13-15-branched and linear ethoxylated, is a nonionic surfactant produced by ethoxylating mid-chain fatty alcohols.

Where is C13-15 alcohol ethoxylate used?

• Home care and industrial cleaning: primary surfactant
• Hard surface cleaners, degreasers and all-purpose concentrates: low-foam or controlled-foam profiles depending on degree of ethoxylation
• Personal care: rinse-off products
• Emulsified systems: stable oil-in-water emulsions
• Textile processing: scouring and wetting agent for uniform dye penetration and soil removal
• Paper and leather processing: emulsification of treatment baths and surface wetting during coating or finishing
• It is a staple in chemical manufacturing.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm EO degree and cloud point specifications.

Commercial specifications

• C13-15 Alcohol 4 EO grade among the most commercially traded specifications
• Variants from 3 to 9 moles of ethylene oxide for different HLB requirements
