The global fine chemical auxiliary market is witnessing a high-quality upgrade with the launch of a benchmark solution. Shanghai Qixuan Chemical Technology Co., Ltd. officially presents its flagship product IA-CO36, also known as EL36 Castor Oil Polyoxyethylene Ether. Powered by mature nonionic surfactant technology, this product features outstanding emulsification, dispersion, solubilization and lubrication properties, coupled with eco-friendliness, superior stability and wide compatibility. It has been widely applied in global scenarios covering agriculture, coatings & inks, textile & leather, daily chemical care, oil and gas industries, delivering efficient, reliable and sustainable auxiliary solutions for formula optimization, quality improvement and low-carbon transformation of downstream industries worldwide, and driving the high-quality development of the global fine chemical industry.
Against the backdrop of global green transformation, high-end formula iteration and refined application in the chemical industry, surfactants with high performance, low toxicity, biodegradability and high stability have become essential raw materials across various sectors. Traditional auxiliaries are plagued by low emulsification efficiency, poor acid-base resistance, insufficient environmental performance and limited application scenarios, failing to meet the stringent environmental standards and high-end production requirements of the international market. With years of in-depth cultivation in the fine chemical auxiliary industry, Shanghai Qixuan Chemical focuses on global market pain points and achieves continuous technological iteration. The independently developed IA-CO36 (EL36 Castor Oil Polyoxyethylene Ether) precisely solves industrial bottlenecks and sets a new benchmark for universal green auxiliaries worldwide.
As a modified castor oil-based nonionic surfactant, IA-CO36 is synthesized by polymerizing natural castor oil raw materials with ethylene oxide, endowing it with inherent green attributes and a stable chemical structure. Compared with ordinary surfactants, it has a balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) value and excellent compatibility with both water and organic solvents, breaking the application limitations of traditional products. Furthermore, it boasts four core advantages: wide pH stability, low electrolyte sensitivity, low aquatic toxicity and complete biodegradability. Fully compliant with EU REACH regulations and global environmental access standards for agriculture and daily chemicals, the product enjoys high market accessibility and adapts to industrial specifications in Europe, America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and other global regions.
In terms of core performance, IA-CO36 integrates powerful emulsification, efficient dispersion, superior solubilization, lubrication and antistatic functions, with overall performance comparable to top-tier international similar products. It enables rapid and uniform fusion of oil-water systems, effectively preventing delamination, precipitation and demulsification in the long run, and significantly improving the stability and shelf life of formula systems. Its excellent dispersion performance refines particle sizes, avoids powder agglomeration, and enhances the color uniformity and finish of finished products. Meanwhile, the product delivers reliable wetting, lubricating and antistatic effects with zero irritation and zero residue, making it suitable for high-end refined formulas that require both premium performance and safety. Adopting refined production processes, IA-CO36 features ultra-low impurity content and highly consistent batch stability, supporting large-scale continuous industrial production and providing stable supply chain guarantees for global clients.
Benefiting from its comprehensive performance strengths, IA-CO36 (EL36) has achieved full-scenario global commercial application across core pillar industries, becoming a preferred auxiliary raw material for foreign trade enterprises and multinational manufacturers.
In the global agricultural plant protection sector, IA-CO36 serves as a core supporting auxiliary for high-end pesticide formulas. As global agriculture advances toward high efficiency, green development and low residue, pesticide formulations including emulsifiable concentrates, suspension agents, water emulsion agents and microemulsion agents impose stricter requirements on emulsifying and dispersing auxiliaries. As a high-efficiency emulsifier, dispersant and cosolvent, IA-CO36 improves the solubility and dispersion uniformity of active pesticide ingredients, enhances the spreading, adhesion and permeability of liquid pesticides on crop leaves, and greatly boosts pesticide utilization while reducing waste and residual pollution. With low toxicity and biodegradability, it meets global green agriculture standards and is widely used in the protection of food crops, cash crops and fruits and vegetables, facilitating high-efficiency and eco-friendly development of global agriculture.
IA-CO36 plays an irreplaceable role in formula optimization for the coatings, ink and adhesive industries. Water-based coatings, industrial inks and eco-friendly adhesives commonly suffer from pigment agglomeration, system delamination, uneven paint film and insufficient adhesion. With superior dispersion, wetting and emulsification capabilities, IA-CO36 uniformly disperses pigments and fillers, improves the chroma, glossiness and uniformity of coatings and inks, optimizes the leveling and adhesion of paint films, and enhances the weather resistance and stability of finished products. Adaptable to complex high and low-temperature production environments with excellent acid, alkali and electrolyte resistance, it effectively extends the storage stability of coatings and inks, perfectly catering to the high-end demands of global industrial coating, packaging printing and architectural coating markets.
Textile and leather processing is the traditional advantageous application field of IA-CO36. The procedures of desizing, scouring, dyeing and soft finishing in global textile and leather manufacturing have strict demands on the lubrication, emulsification, leveling and antistatic properties of auxiliaries. Serving as a high-efficiency scouring agent, leveling agent, softener and antistatic agent, IA-CO36 effectively removes fabric impurities, improves dyeing uniformity of fibers, avoids color spots and chromatic aberration, and endows fabrics with a soft, smooth texture and excellent antistatic performance to prevent wrinkling and dust adhesion. In leather processing, it promotes uniform penetration of grease, improving the softness, toughness and texture of leather products, in line with the production standards of global high-end textiles and eco-friendly leather goods.
Thanks to its mild formula and outstanding solubilization capacity, IA-CO36 is widely used in the global daily chemical and cleaning industries. As a mild natural solubilizer and emulsifier, it efficiently dissolves fragrances, essential oils and lipid active substances, stabilizes the formula system of personal care products and improves the texture and user experience of skin care and daily washing products with no skin irritation, complying with global daily chemical safety testing standards. In industrial and civil cleaning scenarios, it rapidly emulsifies and decomposes oil stains with strong detergency, easy rinsing and zero residue, enabling eco-friendly cleaning without secondary pollution for industrial equipment and household scenarios.
In addition, IA-CO36 is applicable to a wide range of industrial fields including oil and gas exploitation, mineral processing, papermaking and emulsion polymerization. In the oil, gas and mining industries, it optimizes industrial fluid formulas as an emulsifying and dispersing auxiliary to improve production efficiency. In the papermaking industry, it enhances the uniformity and softness of paper. In emulsion polymerization, it stabilizes the polymerization system and improves finished product quality, comprehensively empowering the refined upgrading of global industrial manufacturing.
