C9-11 Alcohol Ethoxylate CAS 68439-46-3 is a nonionic surfactant commonly used in detergent, cleaning, wetting, and emulsification systems where balanced surface activity is required. It is widely selected for household and industrial cleaners, formulation systems, and related processing applications that require detergency, wetting performance, and formulation compatibility. As a supplier and manufacturer, we support bulk supply, standard packaging, and document support including COA, TDS, and SDS / MSDS. Sample discussion, grade selection, and formulation-oriented sourcing support can be arranged according to project requirements. Final suitability should be confirmed through formulation evaluation based on EO range, target performance, and end-use system requirements. For C12–14 lauryl alcohol ethoxylate grades, AEO-9 / MOA-9 is a related nonionic surfactant to compare by EO number, cloud point and application system.

Product Description
Typical Applications
C9-11 Alcohol Ethoxylate CAS 68439-46-3 is commonly used in:
- liquid detergent systems
- household and industrial cleaning formulations
- wetting and emulsification systems
- hard-surface cleaner formulations
- textile and general industrial processing formulations
- nonionic surfactant systems requiring balanced detergency and surface activity
Application suitability should be confirmed through formulation testing, especially where EO level, foaming profile, compatibility, and cleaning performance are important.
Functional Role
In formulation systems, C9-11 Alcohol Ethoxylate is commonly selected for functions such as:
- wetting
- detergency
- emulsification
- dispersing support
- surface tension reduction
- formulation compatibility in nonionic surfactant systems
Actual performance depends on the supplied EO range, concentration, system design, and target application.
For nonionic surfactant systems based on a branched C13 hydrophobe, Isotridecyl Alcohol Ethoxylate is a related alcohol-ethoxylate family with grade-specific EO levels.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
What is C9-11 Alcohol Ethoxylate, and how is it identified?
A: C9-11 Alcohol Ethoxylate is a nonionic surfactant produced by ethoxylation of C9-C11 fatty alcohols, identified by CAS 68439-46-3 and EC 614-482-0. It is supplied as a liquid or paste depending on the EO level. Confirm the CAS number, average EO content, active matter, cloud point, and offered grade before ordering. -
Q:
Where is C9-11 Alcohol Ethoxylate mainly used?
A: It is mainly used as a wetting, detergency, emulsification, and surface-tension-reducing component in household and industrial cleaners, hard-surface cleaners, textile processing, and nonionic surfactant formulations. It is a raw material for formulated products, not a finished cleaner. Confirm compatibility with the target system and required foaming or low-foam behavior. -
Q:
Which specifications should be checked before ordering?
A: Confirm appearance, active matter or solid content, average moles of ethylene oxide, cloud point, pH, water content, color, and any residual alcohol or 1,4-dioxane data where relevant. Also request the batch analysis, technical data, and safety information, and confirm packaging, storage, and transport information for the selected grade. -
Q:
How should C9-11 Alcohol Ethoxylate be stored and handled?
A: Store it in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area in tightly closed containers, away from strong oxidizers and extreme temperature. Use appropriate PPE and avoid prolonged skin contact. Confirm the offered package, net weight, lot traceability, and handling requirements before dispatch.
