Oleic acid ethoxylates are nonionic surfactants which are such as all kinds of other nonionic surfactants mixtures varying in the number of repeating ethoxy groups.
Due to the reaction of fatty acid ethoxylation, all kinds of fatty acid ethoxylates are mixtures of monoester, diester and free polyethylene glycols.

The growing application of fatty acid ethoxylate in an array of household and cleaning products has contributed to the growth of the market.
Personal care and household products such as dishwashing, metal cleaning products and laundry detergents use fatty acid ethoxylates.

The fatty acid ethoxylate market is segmented based on type, application and geography.
In addition, the applications cover oilfield chemicals, personal care and domestic products and agrochemicals

Fatty acid ethoxylates are formed from ethoxylation process where fatty acids are made to react with ethylene oxide.
This ethoxylation process is known as fatty acid ethoxylation.
The ethoxylate bi-products formed from this ethoxylation process are non ionic surface active agents used in domestic as well as industrial formulations.
These are widely applied in processes as emulsifying softeners, wetting agents, cleaning agents and dispersants.
The most popular application of these fatty acid ethoxylates is in textile industry.
They are used as spin finishing agents in various textile formulations.
The ethoxylates based on stearic and oleic acids have applications in cosmetics industries as emulsifiers in oil-in-water type creams and lotions.

Both household as well as industrial products including ethoxylates, glycols, emulsifiers, cosmetic self emulsifying waxes, oilfield chemicals, surface active agents
Textile surfactants for applications like lubricating, dyeing, scouring, finishing are available here.
It also offers surfactants for paper, rubber, leather, paints, cosmetics, pharmaceutical and refining industries.
