Primary Alcobol Ethoxylate AEO2 AEO3 AEO7 AEO9

Product descriptions from the supplier

Primary Alcobol Ethoxylate (AEO), also known as Fatty Alcohol Polyethylene Glycol Ether, is an important class of nonionic surfactants widely used in industries such as detergents, textiles, and dyeing. The performance of AEO products varies depending on the number of ethylene oxide (EO) units added. Here are introductions to several common types:

• AEO2: Typically insoluble in water, it has good emulsifying and penetrating properties. It is commonly used as a raw material for synthesizing anionic surfactants (such as AES) and also serves as a leveling agent and wetting agent in the textile industry.

• AEO3: An oil-soluble emulsifier, it is often used to prepare water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions and is a major component of synthetic fiber oils. It can also be used as a solubilizer and defoamer in industrial applications.

• AEO7: It has good emulsifying, dispersing, and cleaning properties, with better water solubility. It is widely used in liquid detergents, industrial emulsifiers, and metal cleaners.

• AEO9: With stronger water solubility, it excels in emulsifying, cleaning, and washing performance. It is commonly used in household detergents, wool cleaning agents, and degreasing agents in the wool textile industry. It can also be used as an industrial emulsifier and metal cleaner.
