Branched Alcohols
KUM WARM alcohols are isomeric branched, primary alcohols that contain both even- and odd-numbered hydrocarbon chains, ranging from C8 to C13. In general, there are two main types of structures in industrial alcohols.
Benefits
High-purity Ealcohols exhibit reactivity typical of higher primary alcohols. Thanks to their branched structure, Exxal alcohols offer many performance ad- vantages to ethoxylates compared to linear alco- hol-based ones:
- Low pour point – prohibits gel and wax formation, facilitates processing of alcohols and derivatives
- Biodegradability – all of our alcohols and their ethox- ylates meet the OECD 301F readily biodegradable threshold for isomeric mixtures
- Superior wetting power of derived surfactants – excel- lent candidates for resource extraction and nonylphe- nol substitution
