Propynol Ethoxylate(CAT: R017932) is a nonionic surfactant and wetting agent derived from the ethoxylation of propynyl alcohol. Known for its excellent surface activity, it is widely used in coatings, inks, agrochemical formulations, and metalworking fluids to enhance wetting, dispersion, and flow control. Its ability to reduce surface tension makes it particularly effective in improving substrate coverage and penetration. Propynol Ethoxylate is also utilized as a coalescing aid in waterborne systems and as an emulsifier in various industrial applications. With good compatibility across formulation systems, it plays a key role in optimizing performance in chemical processing and specialty material formulations.
