Narrow range ethoxylates
What is Narrow range ethoxylates?
NR ethoxylates (CAS Number: 68131-39-5) are nonionic surfactants with a peaked ethoxymer distribution around the target level of ethoxylation. Narrow range ethoxylates offer lower free alcohol, predictable cloud point, and consistent performance compared with broad-range homologues—valued in detergents, cleaners, and…
