C12-C15 alcohol ethoxylate

What is C12-C15 alcohol ethoxylate?

C12–C15 alcohol ethoxylate is a nonionic surfactant from linear primary alcohols (C12–C15; ~75–85% of blend; MW 203–210). Venus manufactures grades at 7 and 9 moles EO for household, industrial, personal care, and textile applications.

What is C12-C15 alcohol ethoxylate used for?

Linear alcohol ethoxylates (LAEs) offer detergency, wetting, emulsification, and dispersion. EO level sets HLB: lower EO improves oil wetting; higher EO improves aqueous solubility and mild cleansing performance.
