Lauryl Alcohol EO
Industrial Applications
Lauryl Alcohol 8 EO is widely used in HI&I cleaning applications, including hard surface cleaners, degreasers, dishwashing liquids, and laundry detergents. It provides excellent foaming, cleaning, and grease-cutting performance, making it a key ingredient in formulations that require effective removal of oils and soils.
Physical Properties
Lauryl Alcohol 8 EO is a nonionic surfactant appearing as a clear to slightly hazy, viscous liquid with low odor. It contains approximately 8 ethylene oxide (EO) units, giving it solubility in water and polar solvents and strong surface-active properties.
Industrial Applications
Lauryl Alcohol 10 EO is commonly used in HI&I cleaning applications such as all-purpose cleaners, hard surface cleaners, degreasers, dishwashing liquids, and laundry detergents. Its strong cleaning power, good foaming properties, and compatibility with other surfactants make it a versatile ingredient in household and industrial formulations.
Physical Properties
Lauryl Alcohol 10 EO is a nonionic surfactant appearing as a clear to slightly cloudy, viscous liquid with low odor. It contains approximately 10 ethylene oxide (EO) units, providing high solubility in water and polar solvents along with effective surface activity.
Industrial Applications
Lauryl Alcohol EO is used in the oil and gas industry as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant in drilling fluids, enhanced oil recovery formulations, and production chemicals. Its amphiphilic properties help stabilize oil-water emulsions, reduce surface tension, and improve the dispersion of solids, enhancing fluid flow and equipment performance.
Physical Properties
Lauryl Alcohol EO refers to ethoxylated lauryl alcohols, nonionic surfactants produced by reacting lauryl (C12) fatty alcohol with varying amounts of ethylene oxide (EO). They typically appear as clear to slightly hazy, pale yellow viscous liquids with low odor and are soluble in water and organic solvents, offering excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing capabilities.
