Alcohols, C13-15-branched and linear, ethoxylated

Description:

Alcohols, C13-15-branched and linear, ethoxylated (CAS 157627-86-6) are non-ionic surfactants commonly used in various industrial and consumer applications. These compounds are derived from the ethoxylation of long-chain alcohols, which can be either branched or linear, typically containing 13 to 15 carbon atoms. The ethoxylation process involves the addition of ethylene oxide to the alcohol, resulting in a hydrophilic (water-attracting) portion that enhances solubility in water. The characteristics of these ethoxylated alcohols include good emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making them effective in formulations such as detergents, cleaners, and personal care products. They are generally biodegradable and exhibit low toxicity to aquatic life, which makes them favorable from an environmental perspective. Additionally, they can function as surfactants in various formulations, improving the stability and performance of products. However, the specific properties can vary based on the degree of ethoxylation and the structure of the alcohols used in their synthesis.
