  • Applications

    Heptaethylene glycol dodecyl ether (CAS 3055-97-8) is a nonionic surfactant commonly used as an emulsifier, dispersant, and wetting agent in a range of formulations. Typical applications include emulsification and dispersion for coatings and inks; wetting and cleaning additives for household and industrial cleaners; solubilizer and emulsifier in cosmetics and personal care; dispersant and processing aid in polymer and plastics formulations; wetting agent and textile processing aid in fabric treatment; and it may be evaluated for electronics cleaning formulations and agricultural formulations depending on local regulations.
