| Abstract: | Ethoxylation of simple alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and butanol in the presence of tripropylamine, in addition to the main reaction products, results in by-products from tripropylamine and ethylene oxide. This side-reaction consumes tripropylamine, forming dipropylamine ethoxylates and alcohol ethoxylates. These compounds remain in the product and influence the commercial properties of alcohol oxyethylates. |
