Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate is a non-ionic surfactant known for its effectiveness in a wide range of products because of its excellent hydrophilic properties. It is a synthetic alcohol that has great hydrophilicity making it ideal for the formulation of foaming control agents. The Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate chemical is a surfactant that finds huge applications in manufacturing products, such as detergents (wetting agents, dishwashing detergents) and personal hygiene products (shampoos, foam boosters, soaps, emollients, viscosity builders). It is often used as an emulsifier in the preparation of certain agricultural formulations. It is also used for degreasing and wetting in leather and textile processing.

The demand for Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate is majorly directed by its application as a wetting agent and in dishwashing detergents, which significantly boosts its demand in the household cleaning products industry. Its role as a wetting agent and foaming agent largely contributes to its market growth. Its usage as a viscosity builder in manufacturing shampoos, soaps, lotions, etc., further enhances its demand in the cosmetics and personal care industries. Its huge involvement as a dispersant in the formulation of agricultural chemicals remarkably promotes its demand in the agrochemical industry. Its role in the processing of leather and textiles also fuels its demand in the leather and textile industries. Overall, its application in the personal care industry, the cost and the availability of raw materials (ethylene oxide, etc.), their pricing, quality standards, sustainability practices, distribution, and logistics are some of the crucial factors that greatly influence industrial Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate procurement.

Raw Material for Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate Production

According to the Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate production include Fatty Alcohol-Ethylene Oxide.

Manufacturing Process of Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate

The extensive Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Ethoxylation: This method involves the process of ethoxylation of fatty alcohols for the production of fatty alcohol ethoxylate as the product. The process is initiated by placing fatty alcohol in an autoclave, with a catalyst, followed by the introduction of ethylene oxide under controlled conditions of temperature and pressure to obtain fatty alcohol ethoxylate as the final product.

Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate looks like a clear liquid that is made using vegetable oils and fats that don't have any hydrocarbons. The molecular formula of the compound is C5H10O2. The ethoxylates can be restored as a renewable starting material and have a long storage life. The ethoxylates are made using a simple and fast one-step process where the ethoxylates are neutralized using the lactic acid at 90°C. The melting and boiling point of the compound is between 10-50°C and 200-300°C, respectively. The density and flash point of this compound is 1g/cm3 and 150°C. It includes Fatty Alcohol (FA) components from the oleochemical chain and the petrochemical chain's Ethylene Oxide (EO).
