Ethoxylation is a chemical process in which ethylene oxide (IUPAC name: 1,2-epoxyethane) is added to fatty acids in order to make them more soluble in water. The International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry ( IUPAC) (aɪjuːpæk or ay-yoo-pec) is an international Non-governmental organization In Chemistry, especially Biochemistry, a fatty acid is a Carboxylic acid often with a long unbranched Aliphatic tail ( chain) which An example is the ethoxylation of sodium dodecyl sulfate to form sodium laureth sulfate, which is used as a foaming agent in shampoos and toothpastes, and as an industrial detergent. Sodium lauryl sulfate ( SLS) or sodium dodecyl sulfate ( SDS or NaDS ( C 12 H 25 S[[oxygen O]]4 Sodium laureth sulfate, or sodium lauryl ether sulfate ( SLES) is a Detergent and Surfactant found in many personal care products ( A foaming agent is a surfactant which when present in small amounts facilitates the formation of a Foam, or enhances its colloidal stability by inhibiting the coalescence of Shampoo is a Hair care product used for the removal of oils, dirt skin particles Dandruff, environmental pollutants and other contaminant particles that Toothpaste is a Paste or Gel Dentifrice used to clean and maintain the aesthetics and health of Teeth. A detergent (as a noun is a material intended to assist Cleaning.

In an industrial ethoxylation plant, the raw material is preheated and fed to a stainless steel chemical reactor, where it is mixed with ethylene oxide and potassium hydroxide (KOH), which acts as the catalyst. In Metallurgy, stainless steel is defined as a Steel Alloy with a minimum of 11 In Chemical engineering, chemical reactors are vessels designed to contain Chemical reactions The design of a chemical reactor deals with multiple aspects of Potassium hydroxide is the Inorganic compound with the formula K[[hydroxide OH]] Catalysis is the process in which the rate of a Chemical reaction is increased by means of a Chemical substance known as a catalyst The reactor is pressurised with nitrogen to 5 bar and heated to 150°C. Nitrogen (ˈnaɪtɹəʤɪn is a Chemical element that has the symbol N and Atomic number 7 and Atomic weight 14 The bar (symbol bar) decibar (symbol dbar) and the millibar (symbol mbar, also mb are units of Pressure.

Many types of "substrate" chemicals may undergo ethoxylation: for example, alcohols, fatty acids, amines and phenols. In Chemistry, an alcohol is any Organic compound in which a Hydroxyl group ( - O[[hydrogen H]]) is bound to a Carbon In Chemistry, especially Biochemistry, a fatty acid is a Carboxylic acid often with a long unbranched Aliphatic tail ( chain) which Amines are Organic compounds and Functional groups that contain a basic Nitrogen Atom with a Lone pair. Phenol, is a toxic colourless Crystalline Solid with a sweet tarry odor commonly referred to as a "hospital smell"
