Dodecylheptaglycol
Description
Dodecylheptaglycol (CAS 3055-97-8 ), commercially recognized as Laureth-7, is a mid-chain ethoxylated fatty alcohol used across personal care, agricultural, and industrial formulations. It functions primarily as a nonionic emulsifier, dispersant, and cleaning agent, enabling stable oil-in-water systems and effective soil removal across a range of formulation types. In personal care, Laureth-7 is used in shampoos, body washes, and skin cleansers to emulsify oils and improve rinse-off performance. These applications benefit from its mild profile. Agricultural formulations rely on it as an emulsifier and carrier for crop protection actives, improving dispersion and leaf surface contact for better efficacy in the field. Textile and leather processing operations use it in scouring and degreasing baths, where it removes oils, waxes, and processing residues from fiber and hide surfaces during production. Industrial cleaning formulations incorporate it for its foam-modifying behavior and compatibility with anionic surfactant blends, making it a versatile component for heavy-duty detergents. Dodecylheptaglycol is typically supplied as a liquid or low-viscosity paste, depending on temperature and concentration. It is available in technical and cosmetic grades for various uses. Cosmetic-grade material meets purity requirements relevant to personal care manufacturing. Packaging is standard in drums and IBC containers for bulk procurement and logistics efficiency.
