Technical Document

Brief Overview

Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate is a clear liquid substance that depends on the components of fatty alcohol from the oleochemical chain and ethylene oxide from the petrochemical chain. They are non-ionic surfactants which contain both hydrophobic tail portion (fatty alcohol part) and hydrophilic polar head groups (ethoxy chain part), and thus tend to dissolve in both aqueous and oil phase which reduce the surface tension of liquids.

Manufacturing Process

Ethoxylation is an industrial process in which ethylene oxide is added to alcohols and phenols to give surfactants. Alcohol ethoxylates are produced by reacting alcohol with oxirane (ethene oxide). The alcohol could be made from cracked petroleum (via ethane, propane and carbon monoxide) or from vegetable or animal oil and fats.
