Alkyl capped surfactants

What is Alkyl capped surfactants?

Alkyl capped surfactants (CAS 9003-11-6) are nonionic, low-foaming wetting agents produced by end-capping ethoxylated/propoxylated alcohols—typically as monobenzyl ether or related structures. They deliver fast wetting, low dynamic surface tension, and controlled foam for industrial cleaning and process applications.

What is Alkyl capped surfactants used for?

End-capping shifts HLB and cloud point to favour rapid wetting over foam stabilization. Most grades have low freezing points and do not gel when diluted—simplifying automated dosing in CIP and spray wash systems.

Performance characteristics

End-capping shifts HLB and cloud point to favour rapid wetting over foam stabilization. Most grades have low freezing points and do not gel when diluted—simplifying automated dosing in CIP and spray wash systems.

Applications

Alkyl capped surfactants serve mechanical dishwashing, metal cleaning, dairy equipment CIP, pulp and paper wet-end additives, and institutional floor care. They are compatible with anionic, cationic, and other nonionics and perform in hard water.
