Semi-branched C12-13 Alcohol ethoxylates CAS 160901-19-9

(Semi-branched C12-13 Alcohol ethoxylates CAS 160901-19-9)

Overview of Semi-Branched C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates

Semi-branched C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates are a type of surfactant produced by the addition reaction of semi-branched C12-13 alcohols with ethylene oxide. Its molecular structure contains multiple ethoxy (- OC2H4-) units, which endow it with hydrophilic properties, while the semi-branched alcohol group endows it with oleophilic properties. Therefore, this compound can form a stable emulsion layer at the oil-water interface and is widely used in fields such as cosmetics, detergents, lubricants, and coatings. Its semi-branched chain structure makes it perform better in some applications than traditional linear alcohol ethoxides, such as better stability and lower irritation.

Features of Semi-Branched C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates

Unique semi-branched chain structure: Compared with traditional linear alcohol ethoxides, its semi-branched chain structure endows it with superior physical and chemical properties.

Good hydrophilicity and lipophilicity: Due to multiple ethoxy and semi-branched alcohol groups, a stable emulsion layer can be formed at the oil-water interface.

Excellent stability: It can maintain stable performance in various media and is not easy to decompose or fail.

Low irritation: Good compatibility with skin and other biological tissues.

Widely applicable fields: Widely applicable in various fields such as cosmetics, detergents, lubricants, and coatings.

Environmental restrictions: Although it has various advantages, with the increase in environmental awareness, its production and use are subject to increasingly strict environmental regulations.

FAQ

Q1

What are the advantages of semi-branded C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates compared to linear alcohol ethoxides?

Answer: Semi-branched C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates have better stability and lower irritation than linear alcohol ethoxides due to their semi-branched chain structure. This enables it to provide a better user experience and effectiveness in certain applications, such as cosmetics and detergents.

Q2

What is the main role of semi-branded C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates in cosmetics?

Answer: In cosmetics, semi-branded C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates are mainly used as emulsifiers and stabilizers. It can effectively mix oily and water-based ingredients to form a stable lotion or cream, thus enhancing the texture and stability of the product.

Q3

How to synthesize Semi branded C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates?

Answer: The synthesis of semi-branched C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates is usually achieved through an additional reaction between semi-branched C12-13 alcohols and ethylene oxide. During this process, ethylene oxide molecules will be added to the alcohol molecules individually, forming multiple ethoxy units.

Q4

What factors will affect the performance of semi-branded C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates?

Answer: The factors that affect the performance of semi-branched C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates include the number of methoxyl groups, the degree of alcohol branching, temperature, pH value, etc. These factors will affect its emulsification effect, stability, and compatibility at the oil-water interface.

Q5

What are the applications of semi-branded C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates in detergents?

Answer: In detergents, semi-branded C12-13 Alcohol Ethoxylates can be surfactants to help remove oil and stains. Its unique semi-branched-chain structure, hydrophilicity, and lipophilicity enable it to combine with oil stains more effectively and disperse them in water, thereby improving the washing effect.
