Isotridecyl Alcohol Ethoxylate E-1306 Main Application Areas
Industrial and Public Facilities Cleaners: With excellent penetration, emulsification and degreasing power, commonly used in formulating low-foam metal cleaners, hard surface cleaners and public facilities laundry products.
Textile Dyeing and Printing Auxiliaries: As a high-efficiency penetrant and leveling agent, promotes dye liquor diffusion into fiber interiors, increases dyeing uniformity, and can be used in desizing, scouring and other pretreatment processes.
Leather Processing Auxiliaries: Acts as a penetration dispersant in soaking, degreasing, dyeing and fatliquoring processes, accelerating chemical penetration into leather fiber interiors for soft, full, and uniformly colored leather.
Metalworking Fluids: Used as an emulsifier and lubricity additive, suitable for formulating synthetic, semi-synthetic and emulsifiable cutting fluids and grinding fluids, combining cooling, lubricating and cleaning functions.
Pesticide Emulsifier: Used in pesticide EC, EW and ME formulations, uniformly emulsifies oil-phase pesticides in water, improving wetting and spreading on leaf surfaces and field efficacy.
Emulsion Polymerization Emulsifier: Provides stable emulsifying dispersion in emulsion polymerization of acrylate, styrene and other monomers, helping control particle size, reduce gel formation and improve final emulsion storage stability.
