Lauryl Alcohol EO
8 EO
Lauryl Alcohol 8 EO is a nonionic surfactant formed by ethoxylating lauryl alcohol with approximately 8 ethylene oxide (EO) units. It typically appears as a clear to slightly hazy, viscous liquid with low odor, and is soluble in water and polar solvents. In HI&I cleaning applications, Lauryl Alcohol 8 EO is widely used in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, dishwashing liquids, and laundry detergents for its excellent foaming, cleaning, and grease-cutting performance.
10 EO
Lauryl Alcohol 10 EO is a nonionic surfactant made by ethoxylating lauryl alcohol with approximately 10 ethylene oxide (EO) units. It is typically a clear to slightly cloudy, viscous liquid with low odor, and is highly soluble in water and polar solvents. In HI&I cleaning applications, Lauryl Alcohol 10 EO is commonly used in all-purpose cleaners, hard surface cleaners, degreasers, dishwashing liquids, and laundry detergents due to its strong cleaning power, good foaming, and compatibility with other surfactants.
Oil and Gas
Lauryl Alcohol EO refers to ethoxylated lauryl alcohols, which are 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 that are soluble in water and organic solvents, with low odor. Their amphiphilic nature provides excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties. In the oil and gas industry, Lauryl Alcohol EO is used as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant in drilling fluids, enhanced oil recovery formulations, and production chemicals. It helps stabilize oil-water emulsions, reduce surface tension, and improve the dispersion of solids, thereby enhancing fluid flow and equipment performance.
