AEO Series Surfactant Performance & Industrial Applications
AEO-3, AEO-4, AEO-5
Oil-Soluble Emulsifier & W/O Systems
- Key Properties: Readily soluble in oils and polar organic solvents; highly effective lipophilic emulsifier.
- Industrial Use: Emulsification of mineral oils and aliphatic solvents; essential viscosity reducers for PVC plastisols.
- Specialized Apps: AEO-3 is a primary raw material for AES synthesis; AEO-4 serves as a high-stability silicone/hydrocarbon emulsifier.
AEO-7, AEO-9 (Laureth-7/9)
Detergency & High-Performance Wetting
- Key Properties: Excellent water solubility; provides superior laundry detergent raw material performance.
- Textile & Leather: Premier wool scouring and degreasing agents; highly effective fabric deep-cleaning agents.
- Personal Care: Ideal for liquid detergents, cosmetics, and Laureth-based ointment emulsifiers.
- Fiber Industry: Critical emulsifiers for glass fiber sizing and lubricating formulations.
AEO-15, AEO-20, AEO-23
Industrial Leveling & Solubilizing
- Textile Processing: AEO-20 acts as a professional leveling and retarding agent in dyeing; improves dye fastness significantly.
- Solubilizing Power: High-HLB solubilizers for fragrance oils and essential oil formulations.
- Metal Finishing: Used as high-stability wetting agents for antistatic formulations and electroplating brighteners.
Packaging, Storage & Handling
As a reliable surfactant manufacturer, Kemaix provides flexible packaging options to meet diverse industrial needs. Our standard packaging for AEO-7 and AEO-9 includes 200kg plastic or iron drums, and 1000kg IBC tanks for bulk orders.
Storage: This product should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Due to its chemical nature, AEO may solidify at lower temperatures; simply heat gently and stir to restore it to a liquid state without affecting its performance.
Global Logistics & Shipping Solutions
Kemaix provides efficient global logistics for our Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylates. Located near major international ports, we offer flexible shipping terms including FOB, CIF, and CFR. Whether you require full container loads (FCL) or consolidated shipments (LCL), our logistics team ensures all industrial chemicals are handled with care and delivered on schedule to your destination.
