Alcohol Ethoxylate-7

AEO-7 (Fatty Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether) acts as a versatile, medium-range non-ionic surfactant characterized by its balanced ethylene oxide addition (7 mol) and a moderate hydrophilic HLB value of approximately 12-13. This specific balance grants it dual capabilities in both powerful emulsification and effective cleansing, making it a standard choice for Oil-in-Water (O/W) systems.

For personal care and emulsion systems, it is extensively used in lotions and facial creams. It effectively emulsifies complex oils such as squalane and lanolin, creating stable formulations with a fresh, non-greasy texture that absorbs easily into the skin. In rinse-off products like body washes, when compounded with amino acid surfactants, it enhances foam stability and mildness, significantly reducing the irritation potential of the final product.

Industrial cleaning and textile applications leverage its robust detergency. As a core ingredient in dishwashing liquids, it works in synergy with LAS (Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate) to boost grease removal rates while ensuring the foam rinses away easily without residue. In the textile industry, it functions as a superior penetrating agent (wetting agent), rapidly saturating fabric fibers to improve dye uptake and uniformity during the printing and dyeing processes.

Eco-friendly substitution and wetting properties are significant technical advantages of AEO-7. In many international markets, AEO-7 is the preferred eco-friendly alternative to NPE (Nonylphenol Ethoxylates), offering similar or better performance without the environmental restrictions. It exhibits rapid surface tension reduction, allowing for quicker wetting times compared to higher-mole ethoxylates, and maintains high performance even in hard water conditions, ensuring consistency across diverse water qualities.
