LAURETH-4

描述

Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate (LAURETH-4), also known as Lauryltetraglycol Ether (CAS No. 9002-92-0), is an eco-friendly nonionic surfactant designed as a sustainable alternative to nonylphenol ethoxylates (NP series). With its enhanced hydrophilicity due to four ethoxy units, LAURETH-4 offers superior wetting, dispersing, emulsifying, penetrating, and cleaning properties, making it ideal for detergents, textiles, and cosmetics. Its chemical formula is C₁₂H₂₅O(CH₂CH₂O)₄H (or RO-(CH₂CH₂O)_n-H, where R is C12 and n=4).

Key Features of LAURETH-4

• Eco-Friendly Alternative: Sustainable replacement for NP series surfactants, reducing environmental impact.
• Enhanced Hydrophilicity: Four ethoxy units provide superior wetting and emulsifying performance.
• Hard Water Resistance: Maintains efficacy in hard water conditions for reliable performance.
• High Compatibility: Excellent solubility and compatibility with other surfactants for flexible formulations.
• Broad Applications: Ideal for detergents, textile processing, cosmetics, and industrial uses.
