lauryl alcohol Ethoxylate

What is lauryl alcohol Ethoxylate?

Lauryl alcohol ethoxylates (LAE, CAS 68439-50-9) are nonionic surfactants from coconut- or palm-kernel-derived C12 alcohol. Ethoxylation tunes HLB for mild cleansing, emulsification, and wetting in personal care, home care, and industrial applications.

What is lauryl alcohol Ethoxylate used for?

LAE grades are used in shampoos, body washes, liquid detergents, and creams as primary or co-surfactants—providing foam, soil removal, and fragrance solubilization with favourable biodegradability profiles.
