Purity： 99%

1. Basic Product Information

• Product Category: Non-ionic surfactant (tallow amine ethoxylate type)
• Chemical Structure: Formed by the addition reaction of tallow amine with 10 moles of ethylene oxide (EO). Its molecular structure consists of oil-loving tallow amine alkyl chains and water-loving polyoxyethylene ether chains.
• Core Functions: Integrates emulsifying, dispersing, wetting, and penetrating properties. Due to the synergistic effect of amino groups and ether bonds in the molecule, it maintains stable surface activity in moderate electrolyte environments (e.g., pesticide emulsifiable concentrates, industrial cleaning fluids). Compared with the "15 EO" grade, it has more prominent oil-loving characteristics.

2. Key Properties and Characteristics

2.1 Physicochemical Parameters

2.2 Core Functional Advantages

• Moderate Electrolyte Stability: It maintains emulsifying and dispersing effects in systems containing moderate concentrations of salts and pesticide active ingredients (e.g., emulsifiable concentrates with 15% active ingredients), making it suitable for formulations requiring high oil-loving properties.
• Efficient Wetting and Penetration: It can significantly reduce liquid surface tension (to 32-37 mN/m), enhancing the adhesion and penetration of pesticide solutions on crop leaf surfaces. In industrial cleaning, it can quickly strip stubborn oil stains.
• Strong Formulation Compatibility: It can be compounded with anionic and cationic surfactants, and is compatible with most functional additives (e.g., preservatives, thickeners), adapting to complex formulation systems.
• Good Environmental Adaptability: It is resistant to acids and alkalis (stable in the pH 5-10 range) and hard water, maintaining consistent performance under different water quality and process conditions.

3. Main Application Fields

3.1 Pesticide Formulations

• Used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in dosage forms such as emulsifiable concentrates (EC) and microemulsions (ME). It is compatible with various pesticide active ingredients including organophosphates, pyrethroids, and triazoles, with a typical addition amount of 5-15%.
• It can improve the dispersion stability of poorly soluble pesticides (e.g., trifluralin, acetochlor), extend the storage life of formulations, and is particularly suitable for oil-loving pesticide formulas.

3.2 Industrial Cleaning

• Applied in metalworking fluids (semi-synthetic cutting fluids) as an emulsifier and wetting agent. It efficiently removes metal chips and heavy oil stains while providing lubrication.
• Suitable for oilfield chemicals (e.g., drilling fluid emulsifiers) to help stabilize oil-water systems and improve drilling efficiency.

3.3 Textile Dyeing and Finishing

• Used in textile pre-treatment (desizing, scouring) to assist in removing oil and wax from fiber surfaces, with minimal damage to fibers.
• Can act as a leveling agent in dye formulations to improve dyeing uniformity and reduce the risk of color spots.

3.4 Other Fields

• Asphalt Emulsification: Used as an emulsifier in modified asphalt production to help form a stable oil-in-water emulsion system.
• Ore Flotation: Applied in the flotation of non-ferrous metal ores (e.g., copper, zinc ores) to enhance the separation efficiency of minerals and gangue.

4. Usage Precautions

• Storage: Store in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, avoiding high temperatures (>80℃) and direct sunlight. The typical shelf life is 12 months.
• Operation: Avoid direct contact with skin or eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water.
• Compounding: A small-scale test is recommended to determine the compounding ratio, as compatibility varies across different systems.
• Concentration Control: The addition amount is 5-15% in the pesticide field, and can be adjusted to 10-30% in the industrial cleaning field based on cleaning requirements.
