DeTHOX™ 1-5 is a 5-mole ethoxylate of C11 alcohol that exhibits low to moderate foaming. It is stable in both aqueous acidic and alkaline solutions and is compatible with anionic, amphoteric, and cationic surfactants. DeTHOX™ 1-5 is used in various laundry, HI&I (Household, Industrial, and Institutional) cleaning applications, as well as in paints and coatings. It serves as an excellent wetting agent, offering faster wetting performance compared to NPE.
