Lansurf TH30W
Product Category: Nonionics
Tallow Amine Ethoxylate with 30 moles of Ethylene Oxide
INCI Name: Amines, Tallow Alkyl, Ethoxylated (30 EO)
Lansurf TH30W is a high‑performance nonionic surfactant produced through the alkoxylation of ethylene oxide with natural‑based tallow amine, resulting in a tallow amine ethoxylate containing 30 moles of ethylene oxide. This ethoxylation level yields a high‑HLB, highly water‑soluble surfactant with exceptional wetting, penetration, and compatibility characteristics across a broad range of industrial systems.
Lansurf TH30W is designed for multifunctional use in formulation systems requiring robust wetting behaviour, high detergency, surface modification, and stability across diverse pH and electrolyte environments. It is widely utilised across industries such as textiles, metal cleaning, paints and coatings, agriculture, and polish manufacturing, reflecting its versatility as both a primary functional surfactant and a formulation synergist.
​

​
Applications
​
Textile Processing
- Used as a levelling agent, anti‑precipitant, and wetting agent in dyeing and pre-treatment processes to ensure uniform dye distribution and prevent deposits.
Metal Cleaning & Surface Preparation
- Acts as a primary wetting agent in both acidic and alkaline formulations for metal cleaning, degreasing, and coating/paint stripping.
Paints & Coatings Manufacturing
- Improves wetting, dispersion, and formulation stability in coatings and pigment systems.
Agriculture (Adjuvants & Formulations)
- Functions as a nonionic surfactant in agricultural adjuvants to enhance spreading, penetration, and emulsification of active ingredients.
Polish & Surface Care Products
- Used in the manufacture of polishes and surface treatments to improve wetting, spreadability, and uniform application.
General Industrial Applications
- Applicable in cleaning, metalworking, industrial processing, and other systems requiring a highly compatible, high‑HLB nonionic surfactant.
