KELA 20

Chemical Name:

Lauryl-Myristyl Alcohol Polyethylene Glycol Ether

Trade Name:

KELA

Introduction:

Lauryl-Myristyl Alcohol Ethoxylates (KELAs) are alkyl polyglycol ethers derived from Lauryl-Myristyl Fatty Alcohols (C₁₂-C₁₄), which are mixed of varying in the number of repeating ethoxy groups. The digit which is appeared after the name of KELA shows the average number of ethylene oxide units in the Lauryl-Myristyl Alcohol molecule. For example, KELA7 means a Lauryl-Myristyl alcohol molecule which is reacted with average seven molecules of ethylene oxide.

General Applications:

• Fatty Alcohol-2EO: Raw Material for the preparation of Ether Sulfate and Sulfosuccinate
• Fatty Alcohol-3EO: Raw Material for the preparation of Ether Sulfate and Sulfosuccinate
• Fatty Alcohol-7EO: Detergent
• Fatty Alcohol-10EO: Raw Material for the preparation of Carboxylate(An anionic surfactant)
• Fatty Alcohol-20EO: High HLB emulsifier in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products

Different Grades:

KELA 2, KELA 3, KELA 7, KELA 10, KELA 20
