Key Performance Features
Adjustable EO and HLB Characteristics
Different EO levels provide different hydrophilic-lipophilic balance characteristics, allowing grade selection according to water solubility, oil affinity and application requirements.
Wetting and Cleaning Performance
Selected grades provide good wetting and detergency for industrial cleaning, textile processing and other surface-treatment applications.
Emulsification and Dispersion
C13 ethoxylates can support oil-water emulsification and ingredient dispersion in different industrial formulation systems.
Compatibility with Other Surfactants
As nonionic surfactants, these products can be combined with many anionic and nonionic surfactants to adjust overall formulation performance.

FAQ
Can C13 Alcohol Ethoxylate be blended with other surfactants?
Yes. As a nonionic surfactant, it can be combined with anionic and other nonionic surfactants in many formulation systems. Compatibility should still be confirmed according to the specific formulation.
Which grade is more suitable for cleaning applications?
Grades with medium to higher EO levels are generally more hydrophilic and are often considered for cleaning applications. The final choice depends on required detergency, wetting, solubility and formulation conditions.
What information should I provide for grade recommendation?
You can share the target application, required performance, formulation system and any reference grade currently in use. This helps Polykem recommend a more suitable option.
Can Polykem provide samples and product documents?
Yes. Free samples are available for qualified projects. COA, SDS, TDS, ISO 9001 certification and REACH-related documents can also be provided according to product and market requirements.
