Albany, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/01/2019 -- Alcohol Ethoxylate Market: Introduction
Alcohols are converted into alocohol ethoxylates, with molecular formula R-(OC2H4)nOH; where n ranges from 1 to 10. Alcohol ethoxylate is colorless and soluble in organic solvents. It is used as low foaming detergents and cleaners applications. Alcohol ethoxylate is water soluble & white waxy in nature. It may change color due to the number of carbon atoms attached to the hydrocarbon chain. Alcohol ethoxylate is used extensively in various applications including emulsification, industrial and institutional cleaners, and agricultural chemicals due to the low level of toxicity. Alcohol ethoxylates are employed in cream bases in personal care and pharmaceutical industries. The usage of alcohol ethoxylates in waxes improves the stability feature of wax emulsions. The price of alcohol ethoxylate is expected to rise owing to the increase in prices of raw materials such as ethylene oxide and fatty alcohols. Growth in prices of crude palm oil and palm kernel oil coupled with upstream volatility in the fatty alcohol market is boosting the price of alcohol ethoxylate.
