DOWFAX Nonionic Surfactants
Overview
DOWFAX* Nonionic Surfactants are high-performance products that feature excellent solvency, low foam characteristics, chemical stability, and a long list of other valuable performance properties. They serve as foam control agents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, and coupling agents in a wide range of applications. Cleaning products, industrial foam control agents, oil and gas production fluids, and industrial surfactants are just a few of the many uses for these versatile polyglycols.
DOWFAX Nonionic Surfactants are produced by polymerizing ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO) in the same molecule. The ratio and order of oxide addition, together with the choice of initiator, controls the chemical and physical properties of the final polyglycol.
