Alcohol Ethoxylates

Fernol Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylates are nonionic surfactants produced bythe reaction of ethylene oxide (EO) with linear, branched, secondary, or oxo alcohols.  The alcohol structure consists of an alkyl chain ranging from 6-18 Carbon atoms.

Ethoxylated Fatty Alcohols are most commonly used in the formulation of paints and coatings, textile and paper processing aids, and various household, industrial and institutional products.  Four factors determine the physical and chemical properties of these surfactants: carbon chain length, carbon chain structure, degree of ethoxylation, and hydrophile-lipophile balance (HLB).   As these attributes change, the physical and chemical attributes of the surfactants change.  There are many different options to choose from within this group of products.  Each Fernol fatty alcohol ethoxylate has a different level of wetting and emulsifying capability.

Silver Fern’s Fatty Alcohol Ethoxlates are similar to Rhodasurf, Tomadol, Biosoft, Neodol, Lutensol and Tergitol products to name a few.
