As a well-balanced nonionic surfactant, Pingpingjia O-10 is widely used in five major industries, including textile printing and dyeing, industrial and household cleaning, pesticide formulations, cosmetics and personal care, coatings and inks, and metalworking fluids, playing a core role in key processes such as emulsification, wetting and penetration, dispersion, and solubilization.

Detailed Description

Pingpingjia O-10 (chemical name: fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, C12-14 alcohol polyoxyethylene ether 10EO) is a classic nonionic surfactant produced by Haian Guoli Chemical Co., Ltd. With excellent emulsifying ability, good wetting and penetrating properties, efficient dispersing performance, and outstanding chemical stability, this product has become an indispensable functional additive in many industrial fields, especially excelling in resistance to acids, alkalis, and hard water, making it suitable for various processes under complex water quality conditions.

The core value of this product lies in its "multi-functional" characteristic—the same product can simultaneously provide multiple functions such as emulsification, wetting, dispersion, and solubilization, greatly simplifying the complexity of end formulations. Additionally, it has broad compatibility and can be compounded with nonionic, anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants to achieve synergistic effects, providing formulation engineers with great design flexibility.

From a safety perspective, Pingpingjia O-10 is classified as non-hazardous, with no special risk of combustion or explosion. However, during operation, care should be taken to avoid skin and eye contact, and it is recommended to wear protective gloves and safety goggles. The product itself is non-flammable, but dust or aerosol formed by dispersion may require attention to ventilation management under specific conditions.

Application Fields and Technical Parameters

Application Industry Specific Process/Use Functional Role
Textile Industry Chemical fiber spinning oil; pretreatment and dyeing processes for printing and dyeing; vat dye and reactive dye dyeing; synthetic fiber leveling and dispersing Smoothing agent, bundling agent, antistatic agent, wetting penetrant, leveling and dispersing agent (preventing color spots and white cores)
Industrial and Household Cleaning Laundry detergents, kitchen cleaners, floor cleaners, metal cleaners, hard surface cleaner formulations Emulsifying detergent, wetting agent, with high efficiency in removing oils and mineral oils, resistant to hard water, good rinsability
Pesticide Formulations Pesticide emulsifiable concentrates, emulsion concentrates (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides) High-efficiency emulsifier, helping to uniformly disperse the active ingredient in the aqueous phase, improving wetting and spreading of the spray liquid on leaves, enhancing efficacy
Cosmetics and Personal Care Creams, lotions, shampoos, shower gels, transparent product formulations O/W emulsifier, solubilizer (for fragrances, essential oils, and oil-soluble active ingredients), making the product fine and stable
Coatings, Inks, and Metalworking Pigment dispersion, metal cutting fluids, grinding fluids Wetting dispersant (preventing pigment flocculation and re-agglomeration), basic emulsifier and lubricating component, improving processing finish and anti-rust ability

Application Suggestions

In different application scenarios, the recommended usage method and dosage of Pingpingjia O-10 vary:

  • Textile leveling process: The typical dosage is 0.5~2 g/L (relative to the dye bath), and it can be added either before or after dye addition to ensure uniform dye absorption and diffusion.
  • Cleaner formulations: Usually accounts for 2%~10% of the total formulation. When compounded with anionic surfactants (such as LAS, AES), it significantly improves detergency and foam control.
  • Pesticide emulsifier: The dosage in emulsifiable concentrates is generally 5%~15%, and it is recommended to combine with anionic emulsifiers (such as calcium salts) for better emulsification stability.
  • Cosmetic emulsification system: Recommended dosage is 1%~5%. When used with fatty alcohols and thickeners, it can form a fine and stable cream texture.
  • Metalworking fluids: As a basic emulsifying component, the dosage depends on the formulation system, generally accounting for 5%~20% of the concentrate.

The HLB value of this product is approximately 12~13 (estimated based on fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether with 10 mol EO addition), making it very suitable for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsification systems. When used in combination with emulsifiers of lower HLB values, the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance of the system can be flexibly adjusted to meet the emulsification needs of different oil phases.

Precautions

  • During operation, wear chemical safety goggles, impermeable gloves (such as nitrile rubber gloves), and protective work clothing to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes.
  • Recommended storage temperature is 10°C to 35°C. Avoid high temperatures (>40°C) or freezing environments, keep the container sealed, and stay away from strong oxidizing agents.
  • Ensure good ventilation in the operating area to avoid the formation of inhalable aerosols or dust accumulation. In case of skin contact, wash immediately with plenty of water; if ingested by eyes, rinse carefully with water for several minutes and seek medical attention promptly.
  • The product itself is non-flammable, but dust or aerosol formed by dispersion may pose a combustion risk under specific conditions; keep away from fire and heat sources.
