Ethoxylated propoxylated C8-18 alcohols

Ethoxylated propoxylated C8-18 alcohols (CAS 69013-18-9), commercially known as Imbentin PPF, is a nonionic surfactant produced by sequential ethoxylation and propoxylation of medium-to-long chain fatty alcohols.

Where is Ethoxylated propoxylated C8-18 alcohols used?

• Home care and industrial cleaning: degreasing and soil removal
• Hard surface cleaners, degreasers and industrial detergent concentrates
• Personal care: controlled emulsification in rinse-off and leave-on products
• Textile processing: wetting and scouring agent for fiber penetration and soil release
• Leather and paper manufacturing: uniform dispersion of treatment agents
• It improves substrate wettability during processing stages.
