Evonik produces a wide variety of nonionic surfactants. The Tomadol ethoxylates include both synthetic and plant-derived alcohols, and vary in both hydrophobe and ethylene oxide chain lengths, to yield a wide range of physical and surfactant properties. The Tomadol ethoxylates are excellent wetting agents, emulsifiers and detergents. Tomadol ethoxylates are moderate foamers. The Nonidet surfactants are nonionic surfactants that incorporate both ethylene oxide and propylene oxide to provide lower foam and good detergency.

TOMADOL® 25-12 is a nonionic linear alcohol ethoxylate. It has amongst the highest water solubility of Tomadol® alcohol ethoxylate surfactants and the highest cloud point for product clarity at higher temperatures. It offers good emulsification that helps prevent soil redeposition in laundry applications and enables good wetting performance. It is high foaming and is ideal as a component of for laundry detergent formulations. It is readily biodegradable (>60% in 10days).
