Usage

General Description

Alcohols, C12-14-secondary, β-(2-hydroxyethoxy), ethoxylated are a group of chemicals that are used in various applications such as in the production of household and industrial cleaning products, as well as in personal care products. They are derived from natural fatty alcohols and undergo a process called ethoxylation, in which ethylene oxide is added to the alcohols to produce their ethoxylated form. This modification gives the chemicals surfactant properties, allowing them to reduce the surface tension of liquids and help to disperse and dissolve substances. Their ethoxylated form also increases their solubility in both water and oil, making them versatile and effective in a wide range of formulations. However, the use of these chemicals has raised some concerns about their potential impact on human health and the environment, particularly regarding their toxicity and their potential to persist in the environment.
