Cetostearyl Alcohol Ethoxylate (C16-18 Alcohol Ethoxylate) is also known as Ceteareth, alpha-Cetostearyl-omega-hydroxy-poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), Cetostearyl Alcohol Ethoxylated, Polyoxyethylene Cetostearyl Alcohol, and Polyethylene Glycol Cetostearyl Ether. Cetostearyl Alcohol Ethoxylate is white, waxy and solid/flake based on the degree of ethoxylation. More than 10 mole ethoxylate is water soluble and can also dissolve in polar solvents. It is a biodegradable surfactant with non-ionic properties.

Cetostearyl Alcohol Ethoxylate is widely used in various industrial applications in the textile, pharmaceutical, chemical and agriculture field. These surfactants are used as wetting agents, emulsifiers, room cleaning solutions, metalworking and leather processing factories.
