NOVEL® 1216CO-3 Ethoxylate

NOVEL® 1216CO-3 Ethoxylate is a biodegradable nonionic based on a linear primary alcohol formulated to simulate that derived from coconut oil. This 3-mole ethoxylate is made using Sasol Chemicals patented NOVEL technology which yields narrow range products with lower free alcohol, PEG levels and melting ranges when compared to the traditional base-catalyzed methods. It is liquid at room temperature, essentially 100% active and has the following structural formula: CH₃(CH₂)x(OCH₂CH₂)₃OH where ‘x’ varies between 11 and 15.

    Storage & Handling

    Storage and Shelf Life Conditions
    • Small quantities should be stored in sealed bottles, totes and drums at a temperature of 25°C (77°F) or less. Liquid bulk quantities should be padded with a dry inert gas, such as nitrogen, to prevent air from entering the tank or container. The product should not be exposed to temperatures in excess of 60°C (140°F) for long periods of time to avoid product degradation.
    • NOVEL® 1216CO-3 Ethoxylate shows no physical and/or chemical changes for at least 24 months after the manufacturing date when stored under conditions that minimize exposure to air, moisture and extreme temperatures. It is recommended to test the ethoxylate for key specifications every 24 months after the manufacturing date.
