Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ethers, also known as alcohol ethoxylates, are the fastest growing and most commonly used types of nonionic surfactants. It has developed extremely rapidly in recent years and has partially replaced sodium alkylbenzene sulfonate as the main active substance in household detergents and an important variety of industrial surfactants.
Introduction to the emulsifier AEO series
When the carbon number of fatty alcohol is C12~14, it is usually used as emulsifier AEO. Emulsifier AEO2~3 is insoluble in water and is usually used as a raw material for the synthesis of anionic surfactants such as high-efficiency detergents AES, AEC and AESS. It has properties such as emulsification, leveling and penetration, and can be used as a leveling agent in the textile industry. Wetting agents and components of various oil agents; emulsifiers AEO5, 6, 7, and 9 are oil-soluble emulsifiers, mainly used in wool detergents, wool spinning industry degreasing agents, fabric detergents, and active components of liquid detergents. It is used as emulsifier in general industry; emulsifier AEO7, emulsifier AEO9 and emulsifier AEO10 have good wetting, emulsifying and decontamination properties, and are used as active substances in detergents, detergents and wetting agents in the textile industry; Emulsifiers AEO15 and AEO20 have good emulsification, dispersion and decontamination properties and are used as leveling agents in the textile industry, cleaning agents for metal processing, and emulsifiers for cosmetics, pesticides and inks.
Application fields
1. Laundry industry: As a non-ionic surfactant, it plays the role of emulsification, foaming and decontamination, and is used in hand soap, laundry detergent, shower gel and laundry detergent. , the main active ingredient in detergents and metal cleaners.
2. Textile printing and dyeing industry: It can be used as a textile printing and dyeing auxiliary; it has an emulsifying effect and is often used as emulsified silicone oil, penetrating agent, leveling agent, and polypropylene oil agent.
3. Papermaking industry: can be used as deinking agent, blanket cleaning agent, and deresinating agent.
4. In other cases, it can also be used as pesticide emulsifier, crude oil demulsifier, lubricating oil emulsifier, etc.
