Isotridecyl Alcohol Ethoxylate E1010 is a high-performance, water-soluble non-ionic surfactant. It features excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, with low foam and good thermal stability—suitable for diverse industrial conditions.
Widely applied in detergents, cosmetics, textiles, pesticides, and coatings, it enhances product solubility, improves formula stability, and boosts cleaning/wetting efficiency. Made with high-purity raw materials, it meets industrial-grade standards, ensuring consistent performance for bulk or customized concentration needs.
Product Advantage
Superior Emulsifying & Wetting Efficiency with Quantifiable PerformanceOur E1010 achieves an emulsification efficiency of over 98% for oil-water systems (tested under 25-60℃, pH 5-9), significantly reducing emulsion preparation time by 30% compared to conventional surfactants. Its wetting speed reaches 0.8 seconds on standard cotton substrates (ASTM D2281), ensuring rapid penetration in textile and coating applications. This data-backed efficiency minimizes production costs while boosting end-product quality.
Exceptional Thermal & Chemical Stability for Harsh ConditionsE1010 maintains stable performance across a wide temperature range (-5℃ to 120℃) and resists degradation in 5% acid/alkali solutions (tested over 72 hours). Unlike common ethoxylates that lose 20% activity at 80℃, our product retains 95%+ functionality, making it ideal for high-temperature industrial cleaning, oilfield chemicals, and pesticide formulations that demand long-term stability.
Low Foam Characteristic with Precise ControlEngineered for low-foam operation, E1010 generates less than 15mm foam height in the Ross-Miles test (ASTM D1173) at 50℃—a 60% reduction vs. standard isotridecyl alcohol ethoxylates. This feature eliminates the need for additional defoamers in closed-system processes (e.g., metal processing, high-pressure cleaning), reducing formula complexity and avoiding foam-induced equipment malfunctions.
High Purity & Consistent Quality with Strict Quality ControlProduced via a continuous ethoxylation process with pharmaceutical-grade ethylene oxide (purity 99.99%), our E1010 has a total impurity content below 0.1% (GC-MS tested). Each batch undergoes 12 quality checks (including hydroxyl value, cloud point, and pH) to ensure batch-to-batch consistency—our 2023 quality report shows a 99.8% pass rate, meeting ISO 9001 and REACH standards for industrial safety.
Customizable Concentrations & Bulk Supply FlexibilityWe offer E1010 in concentrations ranging from 30% to 99% (water-soluble or solvent-based formulations) to match specific customer needs. Our production capacity reaches 500 tons/month, enabling bulk orders with 7-day lead times for standard concentrations. For customized specs, we provide sample testing within 48 hours and ensure on-time delivery with a 98% fulfillment rate (based on 2023 customer order data).

Product Uses
Industrial & Household DetergentsAs a low-foam surfactant, E1010 is added to heavy-duty industrial cleaners (e.g., metal degreasers) and high-efficiency laundry detergents. It boosts oil-stain removal rate by 40% and works stably in high-temperature (up to 100℃) wash cycles, avoiding foam overflow in washing machines.
Cosmetics & Personal CareIn facial cleansers, body washes, and hair conditioners, E1010 acts as a mild emulsifier. It disperses oil-based ingredients (e.g., plant extracts) evenly, maintains pH 6.0-8.0 (skin-friendly range), and ensures products stay stable for 24 months without layering.
Agricultural Pesticide AdjuvantsMixed with herbicides/insecticides, E1010 improves spray wetting (wetting time ≤0.8s on leaf surfaces) and enhances pesticide adhesion by 50%. Its stability in acidic/alkaline environments (pH 5-9) prevents formula degradation, ensuring effective pest control.
Textile & Leather ProcessingIn textile dyeing, E1010 promotes uniform dye dispersion, reducing color differences by 30%. For leather tanning, it helps penetrate tanning agents deeply, making leather softer while resisting high temperatures (up to 120℃) during processing.
Coatings & InksAs a dispersant in water-based coatings and inks, E1010 prevents pigment agglomeration (emulsification efficiency ≥98%), improves coating smoothness, and enhances adhesion to substrates like metal and wood. It also maintains stability in low-temperature (-5℃) storage.
Usage & Handling Guide
Before use, store E1010 in a cool (5-30℃), dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. When blending into formulations, add it slowly to the mixture while stirring at 500-800 rpm for 10-15 mins to ensure full dispersion. Avoid contact with eyes; if it happens, rinse with plenty of water immediately. Wear gloves during operation for safety.
FAQ
1、Q: How long can E1010 be stored, and what happens if it exceeds the shelf life?
A: Under proper storage (5-30℃, sealed, away from sunlight), E1010 has a 24-month shelf life. Exceeding it may reduce emulsifying efficiency (by ~10-15%) or cause slight turbidity, so we recommend testing before use.
2、Q: Can E1010 replace other non-ionic surfactants (e.g., fatty alcohol ethoxylates) in my formula directly?
A: Yes, but adjust the dosage slightly. E1010 has 30% higher wetting efficiency than standard fatty alcohol ethoxylates—start with 70-80% of the original surfactant dosage and optimize based on end-product performance.
3、Q: Is E1010 safe for use in cosmetics that contact sensitive skin?
A: Absolutely. It meets REACH SVHC-free requirements, has a skin-friendly pH (6.0-8.0), and heavy metal content ≤1ppm. Many cosmetic clients use it in baby washes and sensitive-skin cleansers.
4、Q: What should I do if E1010 freezes in low-temperature storage (-5℃ below)?
A: Thaw it at room temperature (20-25℃) naturally—do not use open flame or high-heat heating. After thawing, stir gently for 5-10 mins; its performance (e.g., emulsification, wetting) will remain unchanged.
5、Q: Do you provide a certificate of analysis (COA) for each batch of E1010?
A: Yes. Every batch comes with a COA, including test results for key parameters (hydroxyl value, EO content, purity) and compliance with ISO 9001. We can send the digital COA within 24 hours of your request.
