Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/14/2019 -- Global Alcohol Ethoxylates Market: Market Introduction
Alcohol ethoxylates (AE) are a group of chemicals that are commonly used in commercial as well as industrial applications. Alcohol ethoxylates are non-ionic surfactants. Alcohol ethoxylates are a mixture of various alkyl chains and single cut alcohols. On the basis of carbon atoms, alcohol ethoxylates market has been classified into various types, such as fatty alcohol ethoxylates, lauryl alcohol ethoxylates, ceto steary alcohol ethoxylates, and behenyl alcohol ethoxylates, etc. Alcohol ethoxylates are hydrophobic in nature, and they are widely used in surfactants because of this physical property.
Alcohol ethoxylates have low odor, and are clear liquids with high purity, and have a colorless to a pale yellow color. Further, some of the key physical properties of alcohol ethoxylates are that they are generally biodegradable and are non-toxic in the aquatic environment. Primary applications of alcohol ethoxylates include as wetting agents, coagulants, emulsifiers, dispersing agents, surfactants, and many more. Furthermore, alcohol ethoxylates are used in various end-use industries such as paints & coatings, home & personal care products, oil & gas, agrochemicals, pharmaceutical, and industrial cleaning.
Global Alcohol Ethoxylates Market: Market Dynamics
Rapidly growing population and industrial activities have increased the need for materials and additives like alcohol ethoxylates for various commonly used products, such as paints, washing detergents etc. Owing to their physiochemical properties, alcohol ethoxylates witness high demand in surfactants, coatings, personal care products, metalworking fluids, agrochemicals, oil & gas. This rise in demand from different applications in various end-use products acts as a driving factor for the global alcohol ethoxylates market during the forecast period. However, alcohol ethoxylates face constant competition from alternative products, such as nonylphenol ethoxylates. This is expected hamper the growth of the global alcohol ethoxylates market during the forecast period
In 2016, BASF SE announced to expand its surfactants plant in India, to increase the production capacity and fulfill the APAC's customer demand. Further, in Sep'15, Shell announced to expand its manufacturing capacity of high-purity ethoxylates and ethylene oxide at Singapore. These strategic developments of alcohol ethoxylates reflect the trend of manufacturing expansion in the global alcohol ethoxylates market.
