Usage

General Description

Alcohols, C12-15, ethoxylated propoxylated are synthetic chemicals often used in personal care products and cleaners. They are produced by the reaction of C12-15 alcohols with ethylene oxide and propylene oxide, resulting in a substance that acts as an emulsifying agent. Alcohols, C12-15, ethoxylated propoxylated is commonly used due to its ability to help blend mixtures that would otherwise separate, such as oil and water. It is known for its non-ionic surfactant properties which make it especially efficient in removing dirt from surfaces. While generally considered safe for use, it may cause skin irritation in some people when used in high concentrations. It is biodegradable and its compounds have been assessed as not harmful to humans or the environment.
