Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylates

Fatty alcohol ethoxylates are surfactants derived from the chemical reaction between fatty alcohols and ethylene oxide. These compounds are used for a variety of industrial and commercial applications such as cleaners, wetting agents, emulsifiers, detergents, and dispersants. Fatty alcohol ethoxylates have emulsifying, dispersing, stabilizing, and wetting properties, and they are capable of breaking down insoluble substances into small particles that are more easily dissolved in water. They also reduce the surface tension of water, allowing it to spread out more evenly over a surface. Fatty alcohol ethoxylates are non-toxic and biodegradable, making them an environmentally friendly choice.
