The environmentally friendly penetrant JFC-M alcohol is a nonionic surfactant product with fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether as the core active component. Its molecular structure consists of a hydrophobic long-chain fatty alcohol and a hydrophilic polyoxyethylene ether chain segment. By adjusting the number of ethylene oxide (EO) adducts, it achieves an ideal balance between penetration, wetting, and emulsification performance.
This product database also lists an alias of 2-ethoxyethanol (ethylene glycol monoethyl ether / ethyl cellosolve), with CAS number 5689-56-3. Ethylene glycol monoethyl ether substances are often used as co-solvents or coupling components in formulations, helping to improve low-temperature fluidity and formulation compatibility. Practical industrial products typically use fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether as the main component, supplemented with a small amount of alcohol ether solvents to achieve better comprehensive performance.
This product does not contain APEO (alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether), meets the requirements of global mainstream environmental regulations, and has excellent biodegradability (under OECD 301B standard, 28-day degradation rate >60%). It belongs to a new generation of green environmentally friendly penetrants.
