Oxo alcohol ethoxylates

What is Oxo alcohol ethoxylates?

Oxo alcohols are produced by hydroformylation of olefins to aldehydes, followed by hydrogenation to alcohols. Common oxo alcohols include 2-ethylhexanol, 2-propylheptanol, and isodecyl alcohol—feedstocks for ethoxylated surfactants with strong wetting and detergency in industrial and institutional cleaners.

What is Oxo alcohol ethoxylates used for?
