What is Alphox 200?
Alphox 200 is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the ethoxylated fatty alcohol family. It is produced by the ethoxylation of a fatty alcohol with ethylene oxide, resulting in a product with excellent wetting, emulsifying, dispersing, and detergency properties. The "200" designation typically refers to the ethylene oxide (EO) chain length, which determines the HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) value and the product's behaviour in formulations.
Polychem Industries supplies Alphox 200 to detergent manufacturers, personal care formulators, textile processors, and industrial cleaning product companies across India and internationally. As a non-ionic surfactant, it is compatible with anionic, cationic, and other non-ionic surfactants — making it a highly flexible ingredient across a wide range of formulations.

Applications & Uses
Liquid Detergents & Cleaners
A key non-ionic surfactant in liquid detergent formulations for dishwashing, laundry, and all-purpose cleaning. Provides excellent grease removal, foam control, and compatibility with other surfactant systems.
Textile Processing
Widely used in textile scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and lubricant. Helps remove oils and waxes from fibres before dyeing and improves dye penetration.
Personal Care Products
Used in shampoos, body washes, and skin care formulations as an emulsifier and co-surfactant. Provides a mild, skin-friendly surfactant system with good foam quality and low irritation potential.
Industrial Cleaning
Used in industrial degreasers, metal cleaning formulations, and hard surface cleaners. Its excellent wetting and emulsifying properties make it effective at removing oils, greases, and industrial soils.
Paints & Coatings
Used as a wetting agent and dispersant in water-based paints and pigment dispersions. Helps improve pigment wetting, reduce foam, and stabilise emulsion polymer systems.
Agricultural Formulations
Used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide formulations. Improves the spreading and penetration of active ingredients on plant surfaces.
