Description

Alphox 200 is a white, waxy solid or semi-solid paste at room temperature. It is highly hydrophilic (water-loving) due to its long ethylene oxide chain.

Uses

Textile Industry, Agrochemicals, Paints & Coatings, Industrial Cleaning

Benefits

High HLB: Excellent for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsification. Hard Water Stability: Remains effective in the presence of metallic ions and varying pH levels. Detergency: Superior soil removal properties for industrial textiles.

Storage & Packaging Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Since it is a waxy solid at room temperature, storage tanks often require heating coils (to ~50 °C) for ease of pumping. Packaging: Typically supplied in 50 kg or 200 kg HDPE drums, or in bulk tankers.
Product Stewardship Industry is increasingly moving toward Alcohol Ethoxylates (AE) as biodegradable alternatives to the Alphox/NPEO series.
