Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylates Market – Market Overview
Ethoxylates are organic compounds that are manufactured by treatment of alcohols and phenols with ethylene oxide in the presence of potassium hydroxide as a catalyst. They are usually obtained by addition of ethylene oxide (EO) to compounds comprising dissociated protons. Substrates utilized for ethoxylation are primarily linear and branched C12-C18 alcohols, alkyl phenols, nonyl (propylene trimer) or decyl (propylene tetramer) groups, fatty acids and fatty acid derivatives. The addition of EO to a substrate containing acidic hydrogen is catalyzed by bases or Lewis acids. Amphoteric catalysts, as well as heterogeneous catalysts are also used. The degree of ethoxylation (the moles of EO added per mole of substrate) varies over wide ranges, in general between 3 and 40, and is chosen according to the intended use.

Ethoxylates based products are significant ingredients for rapidly expanding industrial & institutional cleaning industry. These products exhibit excellent properties such as cleansing and low rinse that are essential for enhancing the detergent quality. The demand for such products used in I&I cleaning is slated to increase exponentially over the forecast period driven by concerns regarding waste management by the industrial sector.
