AEO
AEO Surfactant (Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylate) from Polykem factory is a series of professional nonionic surfactants developed from lauryl alcohol ethoxylation reaction. Different from general universal ethoxylate products, Polykem AEO covers complete graded specifications including AEO-1, AEO-2, AEO-3, AEO-4, AEO-5, AEO-7 and AEO-9. Each grade features independent HLB value, oil-water solubility and surface activity, enabling targeted matching for industrial cleaning, textile processing, agricultural formulation and oilfield chemical scenarios. With strict graded parameter control and full-batch testing system, our AEO series delivers targeted, high-efficiency surfactant solutions for global industrial formula manufacturers.
Product Core Profile
AEO Surfactant series adopts high-purity lauryl alcohol as the core raw material, synthesized through precise ethoxylation polymerization technology. By adjusting EO addition ratio, the product forms differentiated hydrophilic and lipophilic balance characteristics, solving the pain point of single performance and poor targeted adaptation of ordinary universal surfactants. The whole series features low foam, low impurity, mild formula and strong surface activity, with stable performance in high and low temperature environments.
All AEO grade products implement independent parameter standards in terms of appearance, chroma, hydroxyl value, moisture content and pH value. Polykem’s professional laboratory conducts targeted testing for each specification to ensure accurate index alignment with industrial formula requirements. The products comply with global REACH industrial safety standards, with no harmful residual substances, supporting long-term stable compounding production and export-grade application.
As a graded customized surfactant series,
AEO can achieve precise scene matching through different grade combinations. Low EO grades focus on oil solubility and emulsification, while high EO grades focus on water solubility and detergency. This differentiated performance design greatly improves formula flexibility and production efficiency, becoming the preferred auxiliary material for fine chemical formulation upgrading.

Key Performance & Technical Advantages
Scene-Targeted Grade Matching:
Low EO grades (AEO-1/AEO-2/AEO-3) excel in oil solubility and emulsification, suitable for oilfield chemicals and heavy oil cleaning formulas; high EO grades (AEO-7/AEO-9) feature excellent water solubility and detergency, ideal for daily chemical and textile cleaning scenarios.
High Compounding Adaptability:
The whole series of AEO surfactants can be freely compounded with anionic, cationic and other nonionic surfactants, without delamination, precipitation or odor deterioration, effectively improving formula system stability.
Precise Surface Activity Control:
Optimized fiber weaving and molecular arrangement technology ensures efficient wetting, penetration and dispersion capabilities, significantly improving cleaning efficiency and emulsification uniformity of industrial formulas.
Strict Graded Quality Control:
Each grade adopts exclusive production process and independent index inspection standards, avoiding performance confusion caused by mixed-grade production, ensuring accurate matching with customer formula parameters.
High Safety & Environmental Protection:
Pure raw material synthesis, no residual harmful substances, stable pH value, mild and non-irritating, meeting global industrial environmental protection and export safety standards.
Grade-Based Industrial Application Scope
Low EO Grades (AEO-1/AEO-2/AEO-3):
Mainly used for heavy-duty industrial oil removal, oilfield emulsification, pesticide oil agent formulation and high-viscosity material dispersion, relying on strong lipophilic performance to solve oil-water separation and heavy dirt cleaning problems.
Medium EO Grades (AEO-4/AEO-5):
Balanced oil-water solubility, suitable for textile auxiliary processing, medium-duty industrial cleaning and general industrial emulsification scenarios, with stable comprehensive performance and wide adaptability.
High EO Grades (AEO-7/AEO-9):
Excellent water solubility and detergency, widely used in daily chemical cleaning agents, fine textile cleaning, agricultural water-based formulations and precision industrial cleaning fields.
Packaging Specification & Global Shipping Solution
According to different grade characteristics and customer order demands, Polykem adopts classified packaging and flexible logistics schemes.
