Ethoxylates composition

Photopolymerizable compositions based on monomeric acryflc or other ethylenicaHy unsaturated acid derivatives are becoming increasingly popular. When multiftmctional derivatives are employed, three-dimensional networks having high strength and abrasion resistance are possible on exposure to light. A typical composition may contain an ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate monomer, a perester phenacjhdene initiator (69), and an acryflc acid—alkyl methacrylate copolymer as binder. 

Ethoxylated Anhydrosorbitol Esters. Ethoxylation of sorbitan fatty acid esters leads to a series of more hydrophilic surfactants (Table 19). All hydroxyl groups of sorbitan can react with ethylene oxide. The stmcture of the principal component of a nominal polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monostearate illustrates the composition of these products, where w x y z = 20. 

Mixtures containing sulfated castor oil were used to increase the lubricity of water base drilling fluids (123). Sulfated castor oil is also used in dishwashing compounds as a hand softener. A typical cleaning composition contains sodium dodecylben2ene sulfonate, sulfated castor oil, ethanol, and water. A sulfated derivative of castor oil is used as a dispersant for plaster of Paris, reducing the water needed to form a plastic slurry (124). Pesticide emulsions can be stabilized using ethoxylated castor oil (125). 

Ethoxy-3,4-pyridyne (46) is involved in the amination of 3- and 4-bromo-2-ethoxypyridine, and mixtures of aminoethoxypyridines of the same composition are formed in both reactions. Thus, from 4-bromo-2-ethoxypyridine only the 3-hydrogen atom, situated between the bromine and ethoxyl groups (and not the 5-hydrogen atom) is abstracted. Pyridyne 47 is an intermediate in the amination of 4- and 5-bromo-3-ethoxypyridine. In the last-mentioned substance, just as in 5- (or 3-)bromopyridine, only the 4-hydrogen atom, and not the 2-hydrogen atom, is abstracted. The amination of 3-bromo-6-ethoxypyridine proceeds via 6-ethoxy-3,4-pyridyne (48). again the 2,3-pyridyne derivative is not formed. 

The composite results of benzo-fusion on the rates and activation energies of ethoxylation and of piperidination are summarized in round numbers in Scheme VI to give a broad perspective. 

For cosmetic compositions an ether carboxylate is used, derived from a fatty acid monoethanolamide [35]. It is known that the ethoxylation takes place on the OH and not on the NH of the ethanolamide group. Due to the acid H atom a narrow range distribution is obtained. The carboxymethylation is carried out with NaOH and SMCA, followed by a washing step with an aqueous solution of a strong acid at high temperatures. The ether carboxylates have the structure... 

A modified latex composition contains a phosphorus surface group. Such a latex is formed by emulsion polymerization of unsaturated synthetic monomers in the presence of a phosponate or a phosphate which is intimately bound to the surface of the latex. Thus, a modified latex containing 46% solids was prepared by emulsion polymerization of butadiene, styrene, acrylic acid-styrene seed latex, and a phosphonate comonomer in H20 in the presence of phosphated alkylphenol ethoxylate at 90°C. The modified latex is useful as a coating for substrates and as a binder in aqueous systems containing inorganic fillers employed in paper coatings, carpet backings, and wallboards [119]. 

A mixture of monolauryl phosphate sodium salt and triethylamine in H20 was treated with glycidol at 80°C for 8 h to give 98% lauryl 2,3-dihydro-xypropyl phosphate sodium salt [304]. Dyeing aids for polyester fibers exist of triethanolamine salts of ethoxylated phenol-styrene adduct phosphate esters [294], Fatty ethanolamide phosphate surfactant are obtained from the reaction of fatty alcohols and fatty ethanolamides with phosphorus pentoxide and neutralization of the product [295]. A double bond in the alkyl group of phosphoric acid esters alter the properties of the molecule. Diethylethanolamine salt of oleyl phosphate is effectively used as a dispersant for antimony oxide in a mixture of xylene-type solvent and water. The composition is useful as an additive for preventing functional deterioration of fluid catalytic cracking catalysts for heavy petroleum fractions. When it was allowed to stand at room temperature for 1 month it shows almost no precipitation [241]. 

During the sulfation of alcohol ethoxylates the undesired byproduct 1,4-di-oxane may be formed. Although the formation of 1,4-dioxane is predominantly governed by the sulfation and neutralization conditions and by the chemical composition of the organic feedstock, other factors, such as the quality of the raw material, also contribute. This prompted a reappraisal of the required quality standards for this feedstock. In Table 11 guideline specifications are presented. 

A demulsifier composition that is a blend of (1) a propoxylated-ethoxylated block copolymer of a bis-hydroxyalkyl ether and (2) a propoxylated-ethoxylated block copolymer of 2-hydroxymethyl-1,3-propanediol has been described [1750,1751].

As a test, surfactant slug flow experiments were performed in clayey sandpacks with and without the injection of a desorbent behind the micellar slug. Results show that a substantial decrease in surfactant retention is obtained in calcic environment by such an additive. Likewise, the ethoxylated cosurfactant in the micellar slug can be remobilized simultaneously with sulfonatewithout any change in its ethylene oxide distribution. The application of the RST to sulfonate/ ethoxylated alkylphenol mixtures explains semi-quantitatively the relationship between their properties and composition. 

As an anionic surfactant, a synthetic alkylate-base sulfonate containing about 60 % active material (Synacto 476) was used. To make it compatible with the injection water considered (composition in Table I) containing 1500 ppm Ca++ and Mg++ ions, a nonionic cosurfactant was combined with it, i.e. an unsaturated ethoxylated fatty alcohol with 8 ethylene oxide groups (Genapol). Their main characteristics and properties are listed in Table II. 

The theory of regular solutions applied to mixtures of aromatic sulfonate and polydispersed ethoxylated alkylphenols provides an understanding of how the adsorption and micellization properties of such systems in equilibrium in a porous medium, evolve as a function of their composition. Improvement of the adjustment with the experimental results presented would make necessary to take also in account the molar interactions of surfactants adsorbed simultaneously onto the solid surface.
