Alcohols C10 ethoxylate

Dotachem Alcohols C10 Ethoxylate is based on decyl alcohol and ethylene oxide, giving it a shorter hydrophobic chain than C13 alcohol ethoxylates. This structure makes it suitable for formulations where fast wetting, cleaning efficiency and balanced foam are more important than heavy oil emulsification.

Dotachem supplies Alcohols C10 Ethoxylate in five liquid grades at 25°C, including 1003, 1005, 1007, 1008 and 1009. These grades can be selected according to HLB value, cloud point and application requirements in water-based cleaning, detergent, textile and industrial formulation systems. Products are supplied under ISO 9001 quality management standards, with COA, TDS, SDS and REACH-related documents available for export orders. Free samples can be arranged for customers evaluating suitable grades before bulk purchase.

Product Parameter

Performance Advantages

Alcohols C10 ethoxylate is a kind of non-ionic surfactant and has excellent emulsifying and cleaning properties.

Lower Foam in Cleaning System 

Dotachem Alcohols C10 Ethoxylate is suitable for cleaning formulations where excessive foam may affect operation, such as spray cleaning, high-pressure washing, CIP cleaning lines and automated cleaning equipment. It helps provide wetting and detergency performance while keeping foam easier to control.

Fast Wetting for Water-Based Formulations

With a shorter hydrophobic chain, Alcohols C10 Ethoxylate can support fast surface wetting in water-based cleaning, hard surface cleaning, laundry detergent and textile washing systems. This helps cleaning liquids contact the target surface more quickly, especially when cleaning or rinsing time is limited.

Flexible HLB Range

Dotachem supplies 1003, 1005, 1007, 1008 and 1009 grades, all in liquid form at 25°C. With an HLB range from 9.2 to 14.5, these grades can support different formulation needs, from emulsification and wetting to water-based detergency.

Compatibility with Alkaline Cleaning Systems

Alcohols C10 Ethoxylate can be used in alkaline cleaning formulations with builders, caustic agents and other cleaning components. This makes it suitable for industrial and institutional cleaning systems that require stable wetting and detergency performance under higher pH conditions.

Applications

Low Foam Industrial Cleaning

Used in spray cleaning, high-pressure washing, CIP cleaning lines and automated cleaning systems where fast wetting and easier rinsing are required.

Hard Surface Cleaning

Suitable for metal, plastic, ceramic, floor and equipment surface cleaners. It helps improve surface contact and supports removal of oily soil, dust and processing residues.

Laundry and Detergent Formulations

Used in liquid detergents, fabric washing products and household cleaning systems. C10 Alcohol Ethoxylate can work with anionic surfactants to support wetting, detergency and soil removal.

Textile Wetting and Washing

Used as a textile wetting agent and washing auxiliary in pretreatment, scouring and rinsing processes. It helps liquid spread more evenly on fabric surfaces.

Hand Dishwashing and Household Cleaning

Suitable for hand dishwashing liquids and general household cleaners where moderate foam, water solubility and cleaning performance need to be balanced.

Pesticide Emulsifier Systems

Used as a pesticide emulsifier or co-emulsifier to help disperse oil-based ingredients during dilution and support formulation uniformity.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between Alcohols C10 Ethoxylate and Alcohols C13 Ethoxylate?

C10 Ethoxylate has a shorter carbon chain and is often selected for faster wetting, lower foam and water-based cleaning systems such as spray cleaning, CIP cleaning and alkaline cleaners. C13 Ethoxylate has a longer chain and is more suitable for applications requiring stronger oil compatibility, emulsification and broader detergency performance.

Q2: Can I request samples before bulk purchase?

Yes. Free samples are available for customers evaluating C10 Ethoxylate grades for new formulations or supplier qualification. Please contact Dotachem with your target grade and application.

Q3: Is C10 Ethoxylate suitable for CIP cleaning formulations?

Yes. C10 Ethoxylate is suitable for CIP cleaning systems due to its low foam profile and fast wetting performance. It can be used with alkaline cleaning components in high-pH cleaning formulations.

Q4: What packaging options are available for Alcohols C10 Ethoxylate?

Alcohols C10 Ethoxylate can usually be supplied in drums or IBC tanks according to order quantity, product grade and shipment requirements. Packaging can be confirmed before order arrangement.

Q5: What is the shelf life of Alcohols C10 Ethoxylate?

The typical shelf life is 12 months when stored in sealed original packaging under cool, dry and well-ventilated conditions. Keep the product away from direct sunlight, heat sources and incompatible materials.
