PADOXYLATE-2EO
Structure and PropertiesStructure: PADOXYLATE-2EO is produced by combining a fatty alcohol (usually alcohols derived from coconut oil) with ethylene oxide. The number 2 in the name of this substance refers to the number of ethylene oxide molecules attached to each alcohol molecule. Properties: This surfactant is a clear or yellowish oily liquid and is soluble in water. PADOXYLATE-2EO has strong emulsifying properties, good foaming and compatibility with other detergents. Also, this substance, due to its moisturizing properties, makes the skin and hair soft and supple.
PADOXYLATE-2EO Applications- In the detergent industry as a raw material in the production of shampoos, face and body wash gels - In the cosmetic industry in the production of sunscreens, bleaching agents and hair dyes - In the paint industry as a moisturizing agent and emulsifier and uniform spreader of paint on surfaces - In the paper industry as a moisturizing agent and absorbent

paraffin
Paraffin is a general term for a group of saturated hydrocarbons (alkanes) primarily obtained from the distillation of crude oil, and in certain cases, from coal or natural gas. These compounds may exist in linear or branched forms. Paraffin can be found in solid, semi-solid, or liquid states, and depending on melting point, purity, molecular weight, and viscosity, it is available in various industrial, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and food-grade forms.
Types of Commercial Paraffin
Commercial paraffins are generally available in two main types:
-
Solid Paraffin – used in candle manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and personal care industries.
-
Liquid Paraffin – also known as Mineral Oil, available in industrial, cosmetic (pharmaceutical), and food-grade forms.
Chemical Structure of Paraffin
-
General Formula: CₙH₂ₙ₊₂ (representing saturated alkane compounds with single carbon–carbon bonds)
-
Structure: A chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms with no double bonds or rings; can be straight-chain or branched.
-
CAS Numbers (depending on the type):
-
Liquid Paraffin: 8012-95-1
-
Solid Paraffin (Paraffin Wax): 8002-74-2

Applications of Paraffin
Cosmetic and Personal Care Industry
Paraffin is used as a base emollient and moisturizer in creams, ointments, lip balms, hair waxes, paraffin masks, and massage creams.
Pharmaceutical Industry
Used in pharmaceutical formulations for tablet coating, suppository production, and as an excipient or carrier in topical and transdermal preparations.
Food Industry
In food-grade form, paraffin is used for:
-
Coating fruits (e.g., apples) for gloss and preservation,
-
Coating chewing gum, cheeses, and dried foods to prevent moisture loss.
Candle, Match, Paint, and Rubber Industries
Solid paraffin is used in paraffin candle production, matches, shoe polish, waterproofing products, and as an additive in rubber compounding.
Industrial Lubricants
Liquid paraffin serves as a lubricating oil in textile machinery, metalworking, and light mechanical systems.
Petroleum and Drilling Industry
Used in drilling fluids as a drill oil, anti-corrosion coating, and friction-reducing agent in drilling tools.
Advantages of Paraffin
