Sasol North America Inc.'s NOVEL 1412-3 Alcohol Ethoxylate is a biodegradable nonionic derived from linear primary ALFOL 1412 Alcohol. This Ethoxylate is made using Sasol North America Inc.'s patented NOVEL catalyst technology, which yields products with lower free alcohol, PEG levels, and melting ranges when compared to the traditional base-catalyzed methods. It is essentially 100% active unless diluted with water and has the following structural formula: CH3(CH2)xCH2(OCH2CH2)3OH where 'x' varies between 10 and 12. NOVEL 1412-3 Ethoxylate is a clear to slightly hazy liquid at room temperature. It is used in personal care as emulsifier, applicable for all kinds of liquid personal cleansing products.

Storage & Handling
Storage And Handling
Safe handling advice
- Take precautionary measures against static discharges.
Storage/Transport pressure
- Ambient
Load/Unload temperature
- 24-38 °C (75-100 °F)
Storage and handling materials
- Suitable: Carbon steel coated with baked phenolic. Any moisture may cause rusting of carbon steel. If product is moisture free, uncoated carbon steel tanks.
Further information on storage conditions
- Mix thoroughly before use. When stored in the liquid form, ethoxylates should be padded with a dry inert gas, such as nitrogen, to prevent oxygen or air from entering the tank. Prolonged storage in the presence of air or oxygen may cause product degradation. Oxidation is not expected when stored under a nitrogen atmosphere. Inert gas blanket and breathing system needed to maintain color stability. Use dry inert gas having at least -40°C (-40°F) dew point.
