From raw material to the final products, application of Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylate (AEO) in daily chemicals

As the core category of non-ionic surfactants, Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylate (AEO) has become an important product for Polykem in the global cosmetics market due to its excellent performance. It is produced using lauryl alcohol and ethylene oxide as raw materials, through a catalytic addition reaction. By precisely controlling the number of ethylene oxide additions, a series of products suitable for different scenarios can be customized, ranging from liquid to cream form. The performance varies with the slight adjustment of the structure.

The core advantage of AEO lies in its ability to balance efficiency and mildness. It has both hydrophobic groups and hydrophilic segments, which can quickly reduce surface tension, achieve multiple functions such as decontamination, emulsification, and wetting, and has excellent stability in hard water and acidic or alkaline environments, good biodegradability, and is in line with the green trend of the global cosmetics industry. Among Polykem's AEO series, AEO-3 is the key raw material for synthesizing AES, AEO-7 is suitable for disinfectants and degreasing agents formulations, and AEO-9 is widely used in laundry detergents and wool cleaning agents, and is the core active ingredient of liquid detergents.

From the production end to the consumption end, AEO runs through the entire chain of daily care products. In the field of personal care, it can gently cleanse the skin and hair, reducing the irritancy of the formula; in household cleaning, when combined with other surfactants, it can enhance the cleaning power and reduce residue. Polykem, relying on its mature foreign trade supply chain, delivers high-purity AEO products to global daily care manufacturers, helping customers create efficient and environmentally friendly end products, and highlighting the supporting value of chemical raw materials for the daily care industry.
