(C8-10 Alcohol ethoxylate CAS 71060-57-6)

Overview of C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate

C8-10 Alcohol ethoxylate is a non-ionic surfactant prepared by reacting C8-10 alcohols (i.e., alcohols containing 8 to 10 carbon atoms) with ethylene oxide. Its molecule contains multiple ethoxys (- OC2H4-) units, which endow it with good water solubility and emulsifying properties. C8-10 Alcohol ethoxylate is widely used in cosmetics, detergents, lubricants, textile printing and dyeing, and other fields. In cosmetics, it is used as an emulsifier and stabilizer to help form a uniform lotion. In detergents, it can enhance the cleaning power and improve the washing effect. In addition, C8-10 Alcohol ethoxylate also has good biodegradability and low irritation, making it more in line with environmental and safety requirements while meeting performance requirements. With the advancement of technology and changes in the market, the performance and application areas of C8-10 Alcohol ethoxylate are constantly expanding and optimizing.

FAQ

Q1

What is the chemical structure of C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate?

Answer: The chemical structure of C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate is composed of C8-10 alcohols and multiple ethoxy units. The molecule of C8-10 alcohol contains 8 to 10 carbon atoms, while the reaction of epoxyethane and alcohol forms the ethoxy unit. This structure endows C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate with its unique physical and chemical properties.

Q2

Why is C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate biodegradable?

Answer: The biodegradability of C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate is because microorganisms can break down the ethoxy unit in its molecule. This decomposition process does not produce harmful substances, thereby reducing environmental pollution.

Q3

How does the emulsifying performance of C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate affect the effectiveness of detergents?

Answer: The emulsifying performance of C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate can help detergents better remove oil stains. It can form a stable emulsion layer at the oil-water interface, allowing oil stains to be evenly dispersed in water, making it easier to remove detergents.

Q4

What are the performance differences between C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate and C12-14 Alcohol Ethoxylate?

Answer: Compared with C12-14 Alcohol Ethoxylate, C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate has a shorter molecular chain, making it more water-soluble and easier to form an emulsion layer at the oil-water interface. However, its emulsifying performance may be slightly inferior to C12-14 Alcohol Ethoxylate.

Q5

How to prepare C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate?

Answer: The preparation of C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate is usually achieved through an additional reaction between C8-10 alcohol and ethylene oxide under the action of a catalyst. During the reaction, epoxyethane undergoes addition with hydroxyl groups in C8-10 alcohols to form ethoxy units, forming C8-10 Alcohol Ethoxylate.
