Cetostearyl Alcohol Ethoxylate
Industrial Applications
Cetostearyl Alcohol Ethoxylate is a nonionic surfactant widely used in personal care and industrial formulations. In personal care products such as creams, lotions, and shampoos, it functions as an effective emulsifier and stabilizer, contributing to smooth texture and formulation stability. The compound is also utilized in detergents and textile softeners, where it enhances cleaning performance and fabric conditioning. In industrial applications, Cetostearyl Alcohol Ethoxylate serves as an emulsifying and dispersing agent in paints, coatings, and agricultural formulations, providing reliable performance across diverse systems. Its nonionic nature ensures stability over a wide pH range and excellent compatibility with other surfactants, making it suitable for complex formulations.
Physical Properties
Cetostearyl Alcohol Ethoxylate is a nonionic surfactant formed by the ethoxylation of cetostearyl alcohol, a mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohols. It typically appears as a viscous, pale yellow to off-white liquid or semi-solid with a mild fatty odor. It is soluble in water, alcohols, and other polar solvents, and functions as an effective emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant.
