Ethoxylated isodecanol

Ethoxylated isodecanol (CAS 61827-42-7) is a nonionic surfactant derived from isodecanol and ethylene oxide. Also supplied under designations such as XP 70, Walloxen ID 110, and Trycol LF 1; approved as E1003.

Where is Ethoxylated isodecanol used?

• Textile and leather processing: improves dye bath penetration and uniform substrate wetting during scouring and finishing
• Agricultural formulations: emulsifier and carrier in herbicide and pesticide concentrates
• Pulp and paper: controls foam and improves surface sizing uniformity during sheet formation
• Personal care: solubilizer and emulsion stabilizer in rinse-off and leave-on formulations
• It functions as a low-foaming wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant.

Good to know: Ethoxylation degree varies across grades to tune HLB value for specific formulation needs. Food-contact and cosmetic-compliant grades are available where regulatory status is relevant to submissions.
