C12-14 Alcohol Ethoxylate 6EO/7EO is a nonionic surfactant and penetrant, chemically known as fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether. Also referred to as octanoic acid polyoxyethylene ether or wetting agent JFC, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid. This product demonstrates excellent stability against strong acids, strong alkalis, hard water, and heavy metal salts. It may freeze at low temperatures and is non-toxic and non-flammable.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| JFC-2 | Colorless to pale yellow liquid | 192~202 | 5.0~7.0 | ≤3s |
| JFC-3 | Colorless to pale yellow liquid | 190~200 | 5.0~7.0 | ≤3s |
| JFC-3.5 | Colorless to pale yellow liquid | 185~190 | 5.0~7.0 | ≤3s |
| JFC-5 | Colorless to pale yellow liquid | 178~188 | 5.0~7.0 | ≤3s |
| JFC-6 | Colorless to pale yellow liquid | 134~140 | 5.0~7.0 | ≤3s |
| JFC-8 | Colorless to pale yellow liquid | 113~119 | 5.0~7.0 | ≤3s |
| JFC-15 | Colorless to pale yellow liquid | 68~74 | 5.0~7.0 | ≤3s |
This versatile surfactant finds extensive applications across multiple industries:
JFC-2 and JFC-3 variants are water-soluble, resistant to strong acids, strong alkalis, and hypochlorites, and can be used in combination with anions and cations. JFC-5 is particularly suitable for production of alkali-resistant penetrants with resistance up to approximately 180g NaOH/L.
