A reliable choice for boosting formulation performance in diverse professional scenarios.
Product Advantage
Superior Emulsifying & Wetting Efficiency with Quantifiable ResultsThis non-ionic surfactant delivers an emulsification efficiency of over 95% for oil-water systems, significantly reducing formulation time by 30% compared to conventional surfactants. Its ultra-low surface tension (28-32 mN/m at 25℃) ensures rapid wetting on even hydrophobic surfaces like metal or plastic, enhancing the penetration of active ingredients in detergents or agrochemicals—critical for boosting end-product performance in industrial scenarios.
Exceptional Chemical Stability Across Extreme ConditionsE1009 maintains stable performance in a wide pH range of 4-12 and temperature fluctuations from -5℃ to 80℃, with no degradation observed in accelerated aging tests (12 weeks at 50℃). This stability eliminates the need for additional stabilizers in formulations, reducing production costs by 15% and ensuring consistent efficacy in harsh environments such as high-temperature industrial cleaning or outdoor agrochemical applications.
High Purity & Strict Quality Control Backed by CertificationsProduced via a advanced ethoxylation process, E1009 achieves a purity level of ≥99.5%, with impurity content (such as free alcohols) below 0.3%—far exceeding industry standards (typically ≥98% purity). Each batch undergoes 12 quality checks, including GC-MS and HPLC analysis, and complies with REACH and FDA regulations. This commitment to quality has earned us a 98% customer satisfaction rate over the past 5 years, as verified by third-party customer surveys.
Excellent Compatibility with Multi-Surfactant SystemsUnlike many surfactants that cause phase separation when mixed, E1009 exhibits 100% compatibility with anionic, cationic, and other non-ionic surfactants (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate, cetyltrimethylammonium chloride). This flexibility allows formulators to create complex, high-performance blends without compatibility issues, expanding its application scope from cosmetic creams to industrial metal cleaners—saving R&D teams up to 20% of formulation testing time.
Eco-Friendly Profile & Sustainable ProductionE1009 is readily biodegradable (90% biodegradation within 28 days per OECD 301B test) and free of phosphates, APEOs, and heavy metals, aligning with global environmental regulations (e.g., EU ECOLABEL). Our production process also reduces water consumption by 40% and carbon emissions by 25% compared to traditional methods, supported by our ISO 14001-certified manufacturing facility—appealing to eco-conscious buyers seeking sustainable raw materials.
Flexible Customization & Bulk Supply CapabilitiesWe offer tailored solutions for E1009, including adjustable ethoxylation degrees (from 5 to 20 moles) and custom packaging (20L drums, 200L IBC tanks, or 1000L tote bags) to meet specific customer needs. With a monthly production capacity of 500 tons, we guarantee lead times of 3-7 days for bulk orders, supported by a global logistics network that covers 80+ countries. This ensures consistent supply for large-scale industrial clients, minimizing their inventory risks.

Product Uses
1、Industrial Cleaning Formulations
As a core surfactant, it's added to metal degreasers, equipment cleaners, and industrial detergents. Its strong wetting ability (28-32 mN/m surface tension) penetrates oil stains quickly, while low foam ensures easy rinsing—ideal for cleaning machinery parts, factory floors, and metal surfaces without residue.
2、Cosmetic & Personal Care Products
Used in facial cleansers, body washes, and lotions as an emulsifier and solubilizer. With pH 6.0-7.5 (neutral), it's gentle on skin, dispersing oils and active ingredients evenly. Its high purity (≥99.5%) meets cosmetic-grade standards, avoiding irritation and enhancing product texture.
3、Agrochemical Formulations
Blended into herbicides, insecticides, and foliar fertilizers to improve spray coverage. It reduces surface tension on crop leaves, helping active ingredients adhere and penetrate—boosting pesticide efficacy by 30%. Its stability (pH 4-12) works in various agrochemical formulas.
4、Textile & Leather Processing
Acts as a wetting agent in textile dyeing and leather finishing. It ensures uniform dye dispersion, preventing color spots on fabrics, and softens leather by aiding chemical penetration. Resists high temperatures (stable up to 80℃), fitting textile manufacturing's heat-intensive processes.
5、Paint & Coating Industry
Added to water-based paints and coatings as a dispersant. It keeps pigment particles evenly suspended (≥95% emulsification efficiency), preventing settling and improving coating smoothness. Its low water content (≤0.1%) avoids paint delamination, ensuring long-term storage stability.
Usage & Handling Guide
For most formulations, add E1009 at 2-8% (adjust per needs) during the mixing phase. Stir at 300-500 rpm (25-40℃) until fully dissolved—avoid high-speed stirring to prevent excess foam.
In acidic/alkaline systems (pH 4-12), add after adjusting pH. For bulk use, store in sealed containers (15-30℃) away from direct sunlight. Rinse skin with water if contact occurs; refer to SDS for full safety details.
FAQ
1、Q: Can I adjust the addition ratio of E1009 beyond 2-8% for specific formulations?
A: Yes, you can. For high-demand scenarios like heavy-duty industrial cleaners, increasing to 10% may enhance efficacy. But test first—excess amounts might cause foam buildup or affect formulation stability.
2、Q: What happens if E1009 is stored outside the 15-30℃ range?
A: Storing below 15℃ may make it slightly viscous, but warming to 25℃ restores fluidity. Exceeding 30℃ for long could reduce stability—no permanent damage, but avoid prolonged exposure to high temps.
3、Q: Is E1009 safe to use in products that contact food or skin (e.g., food-grade cleaners)?
A: With ≥99.5% purity and compliance with FDA regulations, it’s safe for skin-contact products (cosmetics) and food-grade cleaners. But confirm it meets your region’s food safety standards before use.
4、Q: Can E1009 replace other non-ionic surfactants like fatty alcohol ethoxylates?
A: Often yes. Its better emulsifying efficiency (over 95%) and wider pH stability (4-12) make it a substitute. But test compatibility with your existing formulation to ensure no performance changes.
5、Q: How to handle E1009 if it spills during operation?
A: Absorb spills with inert materials (e.g., sand) and dispose of per local waste rules. Avoid rinsing with large amounts of water—prevent it from entering drains. Wear gloves and goggles when cleaning up.
