C12-14 Alcohol Ethoxylate 6EO/7EO Cas 68439-50-9 Nonionic Wetting Agent

C12-14 Alcohol Ethoxylate 6EO/7EO is a nonionic surfactant and penetrant, chemically known as fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether. Also referred to as octanoic acid polyoxyethylene ether or wetting agent JFC, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid. This product demonstrates excellent stability against strong acids, strong alkalis, hard water, and heavy metal salts. It may freeze at low temperatures and is non-toxic and non-flammable.

This versatile surfactant finds extensive applications across multiple industries:

• Textile Industry: Used as penetrants in sizing, desizing, scouring, and bleaching processes
• Leather Industry: Employed as penetrants in leather coatings and as degreasing agents
• Metal Processing: Used in metal detergents and electroplating applications
• Environmental Applications: Demonstrates good performance in biodegradation of petroleum hydrocarbon-containing wastewater
• Chemical Manufacturing: Serves as emulsifiers or raw materials for synthesis of carrier brighteners

JFC-2 and JFC-3 variants are water-soluble, resistant to strong acids, strong alkalis, and hypochlorites, and can be used in combination with anions and cations. JFC-5 is particularly suitable for production of alkali-resistant penetrants with resistance up to approximately 180g NaOH/L.
