C8-C10 Alcohols ethoxylated propoxylated

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

Where is C8-C10 Alcohols ethoxylated propoxylated used?

• Industrial and institutional cleaning: degreasing in concentrates
• Textile and leather processing: wetting and scouring agent for uniform penetration
• Coatings and adhesives: improved substrate wetting and pigment dispersion stability
• Personal care: emulsifier and humectant component in rinse-off and leave-on systems
• It functions as an emulsifier, dispersant, and low-foaming wetting agent.

Good to know: Standard commercial grades vary in ethylene oxide/propylene oxide ratios, with technical grade most common; food-contact and cosmetic grades may be available from select suppliers. Compliance may involve USP or FCC standards for certain uses.
