Product Description
Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (AEO), also known as polyoxyethylene fatty alcohol ether. It is the fastest developing and largest dosage of nonionic surfactants. This type of surfactant is an ether formed by the condensation of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and fatty alcohol, which is represented by the following general formula: RO (CH2 H2O) NH, where n is the degree of polymerization, and there are different varieties due to different degrees of polymerization of polyethylene glycol and types of fatty alcohol. The trade name is Brij. For example, Brij30 and Brij are condensed from different amounts of polyethylene glycol and lauric acid, and they can all be used as O/W emulsifiers.
Application
1. As a nonionic surfactant, the washing industry plays the role of emulsification, foaming and decontamination. It is the main active ingredient of hand sanitizer, laundry detergent, shower gel, washing powder, detergent and metal cleaner.
2. Textile printing and dyeing industry, as textile printing and dyeing auxiliaries, plays an emulsifying role.
3. Paper industry is used as deinking agent, carpet detergent and resin remover.
4. Others such as pesticide emulsifier, cr ude oil demulsifier, lubricating oil emulsifier, etc.
AEO3(MOA3) can be used as water-in-oil emulsifier, and it is the main raw material for efficient detergent sodium fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate (AES).
AEO7 can be used as disinfectant, degreasing agent and raw material of laundry detergent.
AEO9 is mainly used in wool detergent, degreasing agent for wool spinning industry, fabric detergent and active components of liquid detergent.
Generally used as emulsifier in industry.
