  • Applications

    Tetradecyl ethyleneglycol monoether (CAS 2136-70-1) is a nonionic surfactant and solvent with a C14 alkyl chain and an ethylene glycol moiety, typically used as a surfactant, emulsifier, and dispersant in a range of formulation applications across industries. In cosmetics and personal care, it acts as a mild surfactant and emulsifier to stabilize oil-in-water systems. In household and cleaning products, it serves as a wetting agent and solvent to enhance cleaning performance. In industrial manufacturing and coatings/inks, it functions as an emulsifier and dispersant for paints, coatings, and inks, improving pigment suspension stability. In polymers/plastics and adhesives, it serves as a processing aid and wetting agent to improve mixing and compatibility. In agriculture, it can be used as an adjuvant in agrochemical formulations to improve spray coverage and deposition.
