High-HLB cetyl-oleyl ethoxylate surfactant with strong emulsification and hard-water stability for oil-in-water systems.
| Features | Non-ionic surfactant with high HLB; primary or co-emulsifier for semi-synthetic and soluble MWF; provides strong emulsification, wetting and hard-water stability; improves residue control and reduces foam tendency. |
| Benefits | Builds robust, low-foam oil-in-water emulsions; enhances cleanliness and fluid stability in demanding machining operations; compatible with mineral and biodegradable esters. |
| Typical Properties | Clear to turbid liquid, colourless to light pale yellow; cloud point 1% aqueous 65–71 °C; pH (1% solution) 5.5–8; moisture max 1%. |
| Applications | Semi-synthetic and soluble metalworking fluids, oil-in-water emulsion concentrates, high-performance lubricants requiring hard-water stability. |
| INCI Name | Cetoleth-10 |
