Usage & Handling Guide

For using C8-C10 Alcohol Ethoxylates -2EO (DE-2): First, dilute it with water (or compatible solvents) at 1:5–1:20 (DE-2:solvent) under stirring (avoid high-speed mixing to prevent excess foam). Add the diluted solution to your system (e.g., textile baths, detergent formulations) at 0.5–2% (based on total formulation weight). Stir gently to mix evenly. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; avoid contact with strong acids/bases.

FAQ

1、Q: Can DE-2 be used directly without dilution?

A: It’s not recommended. Direct use may cause uneven dispersion in the system. Dilute it with water/solvents at 1:5–1:20 first for better compatibility and stable performance.

2、Q: What if DE-2 comes into contact with strong acids?

A: Strong acids may damage its chemical structure, reducing effectiveness. Rinse the contact area immediately with plenty of water if spilled, and avoid mixing them in formulations.

3、Q: How long can DE-2 be stored?

A: When stored in a cool, dry place away from sunlight and strong chemicals, it has a shelf life of about 12 months. Check for color change or sediment before use if stored longer.

4、Q: Can DE-2 replace DE-4 (C8-C10 Alcohol Ethoxylates -4EO) in formulations?

A: Not directly. DE-2 has fewer EO groups, so its solubility and foaming properties differ. Test compatibility and adjust dosages if substituting to ensure desired results.
