Cetearyl Alcohol Ethoxylate

Cetearyl Alcohol Ethoxylate, also known as Alcohols C16-18 Ethoxylated, is a nonionic surfactant produced by the reaction of C16-18 fatty alcohols with ethylene oxide (EO). Polykem supplies multiple grades that combine the lubricating properties of fatty alcohols with the hydrophilic characteristics of polyoxyethylene chains. The product is used in personal care emulsions, textile processing, metalworking fluids and other industrial applications.
