Alcohol Ethoxylate Based Emulsifier

Q: How is Alcohol Ethoxylate Based Emulsifier used in industrial applications?

A: It is primarily used as an emulsifier in agrochemicals, detergents, textiles, paints, and coatings by promoting stable dispersion of different liquid phases, thereby improving formulation consistency and performance.

Q: What benefits does its complete solubility in water provide?

A: Complete water solubility ensures easy incorporation into aqueous systems, resulting in homogeneous mixtures and efficient emulsification, which is essential for producing high-quality and stable products.

Q: When should this emulsifier be added during the mixing process?

A: It is most effective when added at the initial stages of formulation, allowing for uniform distribution and optimal emulsification throughout the batch, regardless of application.

Q: Where is this product typically stored and in what packaging?

A: Alcohol ethoxylate based emulsifier should be stored in a cool, dry area, away from direct sunlight, and is supplied in 50 kg or 200 kg HDPE drums to ensure product integrity during storage and transport.

Q: What is the process for incorporating this emulsifier into formulations?

A: The product is measured according to the formulations requirements, then slowly added while stirring the batch to ensure even dispersion. It is compatible with most surfactants, allowing flexible integration into various recipes.

Q: Does its hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) vary by grade?

A: Yes, the HLB value ranges from 12 to 15 depending on the specific grade, allowing users to select the most suitable option for their particular emulsion stability and application needs.

Q: What are the main benefits of using a non-ionic, biodegradable emulsifier?

A: Its non-ionic nature ensures broad compatibility with other surfactants, minimizes potential reactions, and supports green chemistry practices due to its ready biodegradability, safeguarding both operators and the environment.
