C12-14 alcohols ethoxylated propoxylated

C12-14 alcohols ethoxylated propoxylated (CAS 68439-51-0) is a nonionic surfactant derived from mid-chain fatty alcohols modified with ethylene oxide and propylene oxide blocks.

Where is C12-14 alcohols ethoxylated propoxylated used?

• Industrial and institutional cleaning concentrates: degreasing with controlled low-foam characteristics
• Spray, CIP and machine-wash processes: foam management
• Textile and leather processing: emulsifier and wetting agent in scouring baths, dyeing auxiliaries and finishing formulations
• Coatings and adhesives: dispersing agent that stabilizes pigment and filler suspensions
• Personal care: mild emulsification and skin-compatible cleansing in rinse-off products
• The dual alkoxylation profile allows formulators to tune hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, foam profile and solubility behavior.
• Photography developing chemicals.
• Construction and building materials.
• Automatic dishwashing additives.
• Disinfectants.

Typical specification

• The classification covers alcohols ethoxylated and propoxylated with a carbon chain length of at least C12 and less than C16 and a combined ethoxylation and propoxylation degree (EO + PO) below 15.
