Narrow range ethoxylates are sold commercially via B2B channels to various end-use industries, including leather and textile, agrochemicals, and paints and coatings. The end-use manufacturers include narrow range ethoxylates in their product formulations to develop cleaning products, such as surface disinfectants and sanitizers, for various applications. Companies sell their products directly to end-use companies or through various other intermediaries, such as wholesalers or retailers.
Surface-active substances are used in cleaning products as they exhibit excellent degreasing, emulsifying, wetting, de-gumming, binding, and scouring properties. Such properties enable them to be used in various product formulations, such as laundry detergents, hard surface cleaners, and all-purpose cleaners. In addition, they are used for several end-use applications such as engine cleaning, all-purpose cleaning, vehicle cleaning, and detergents for textiles, machine dishwashing, and microemulsions.
The price is determined majorly by the fluctuating cost of raw materials. The demand for raw materials, such as ethylene oxide, fatty alcohols, and other products, and their availability account for a substantial share of the production cost, thereby influencing the product price. The use of raw materials for alternate applications resulted in a stringent demand for the use in the production of ethoxylates leading to an increase in the price.
