BRIJ OC20
Brij OC20 is a non-ionic surfactant based on ethoxylated fatty alcohol. This fatty ether is produced from a naturally occurring straight chain alcohol. The presence of the ether linkage significantly improves its resistance to hydrolysis. In general, it is suitable to be used in extreme pH and high electrolyte systems as an efficient steric stabiliser in O/W emulsions. It can be used in emulsion polymerisation and also acts as effective wetting agent.
