C8-C10 Alcohols ethoxylated propoxylated

C8-C10 Alcohols Ethoxylated Propoxylated, also known as CAS 68603-25-8, is a nonionic surfactant built on a mixed ethylene oxide/propylene oxide block structure on a fatty alcohol backbone.

It functions as an emulsifier, dispersant, and low-foaming wetting agent across industrial and consumer formulation systems. In industrial and institutional cleaning concentrates, it delivers effective degreasing.

The product provides controlled, low-foam profiles suited to spray, CIP, and pressure-wash processes. Textile and leather processing operations use it as a wetting and scouring agent for uniform penetration.

This surfactant enables treatment baths to work effectively without excessive foam buildup. In coatings and adhesive formulations, it improves substrate wetting and pigment dispersion stability for better results.

Personal care formulators incorporate it as an emulsifier and humectant component in rinse-off and leave-on systems. It is preferred where mild, low-irritation surfactancy is required for the final product.

The material is supplied as a clear to slightly hazy liquid. Standard commercial grades are available at varying ethylene oxide/propylene oxide ratios, with technical-grade being the most common offering.

Food-contact and cosmetic-grade specifications may be available from select suppliers depending on requirements. Compliance may involve meeting specific standards such as USP or FCC for certain uses.
