Product Brief: C12-14 Lauryl Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether-20 (AEO-20)

C12-14 Lauryl Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether-20 (AEO-20) is a high-performance non-ionic emulsifier with excellent water solubility, stability, and compatibility. It features strong emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting abilities, making it ideal for diverse industries.
Widely used in cosmetics (creams, lotions), detergents (liquid soaps, laundry detergents), textiles (printing auxiliaries), food processing (safe emulsification), and pharmaceuticals (formulation aids), it ensures consistent product quality. Available in industrial/food grades with customizable packaging, it meets global safety standards, suitable for bulk and small-batch orders.


Product Advantage

  1. Superior Emulsifying Efficiency for O/W Systems: AEO-20 (MOA-20) features an HLB value of 16.5-17.5, making it ideal for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsification. It can stably disperse mineral oils, vegetable oils, and waxes into aqueous phases, with an emulsion stability rate of over 98% after 72 hours of static storage—ensuring long-lasting uniformity in formulations.

  2. Excellent Water Solubility and Dispersion: Unlike low-molecular-weight AEO series products, AEO-20 dissolves completely in water at room temperature, forming a clear solution without sediment. Its dispersion time in water is less than 3 minutes, which significantly shortens the mixing process in industrial production and reduces energy consumption.

  3. Outstanding Compatibility with Other Ingredients: It exhibits strong compatibility with anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants, as well as polymers and additives. This flexibility allows it to be blended into complex formulations (e.g., high-concentration detergents, cosmetic creams) without causing phase separation or performance degradation.

  4. High Purity and Low Impurity Content: With a water content of ≤0.8% (lower than the industry average of 1.0%) and a Pt-Co color value of ≤15, AEO-20 ensures minimal impurities. This high purity prevents unwanted reactions (such as discoloration or odor generation) in end products, enhancing product reliability.

  5. Stable Performance Across Temperature Ranges: It maintains stable emulsifying and wetting properties in a temperature range of 5℃-60℃. Even in low-temperature environments (e.g., 5℃-10℃), its aqueous solution remains clear without crystallization, making it suitable for cold-process production lines.

Product Uses

  1. Cosmetics and Personal Care: As a key emulsifier in facial creams, lotions, and body washes, it helps blend oil-based active ingredients (e.g., plant extracts, vitamins) with water-based phases, ensuring a smooth texture and good skin absorption.

  2. High-Concentration Liquid Detergents: It is added to high-efficiency liquid detergents (especially for clothing and dishwashing) to enhance dirt-removing ability. Its good detergency and foaming stability make it effective in both hard and soft water.

  3. Textile Industry (Fabric Finishing): Used in textile finishing processes as a wetting agent and emulsifier for softeners. It helps uniformly disperse silicone-based softeners on fabric surfaces, improving fabric softness and wear resistance without affecting color fastness.

  4. Industrial Cleaning Agents: Applied in industrial degreasers for machinery and metal parts. Its strong emulsifying power can break down heavy oil stains, and its low foam property ensures easy rinsing, reducing residue on equipment surfaces.

  5. Agricultural Pesticide Formulations: As an adjuvant in pesticide emulsifiable concentrates (EC), it improves the dispersion of pesticide active ingredients in water, enhancing adhesion to crop leaves and increasing the effectiveness of pest control.


Usage & Handling Guide

  1. Dilution: Mix AEO-20 with water (ratio 1:5–1:20, adjust by use) at 30–50°C for full dissolution.

  2. Blending: Add the diluted solution to your base (e.g., detergent, cosmetic matrix) while stirring slowly (10–20 mins) to avoid foam.

  3. Notes: Avoid high temperatures (>60°C) to preserve performance. For food/pharma use, ensure compliance with local safety standards. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.


FAQ

  1. Q: What's the difference between industrial-grade and food-grade AEO-20?
    A: Industrial-grade AEO-20 is for detergents, textiles, or paints, focusing on emulsifying efficiency. Food-grade meets stricter purity standards (low impurities), safe for food processing (e.g., beverage emulsification) and complies with food safety regulations.

  2. Q: Can AEO-20 be mixed with anionic/cationic surfactants?
    A: Yes. It has good compatibility with most anionic (e.g., sodium lauryl sulfate) and cationic surfactants. Test a small batch first to ensure no sediment or performance loss, especially for sensitive formulations like cosmetics.

  3. Q: How long can AEO-20 be stored, and what are the storage conditions?
    A: Unopened AEO-20 has a 24-month shelf life. Store it in a cool (15–30°C), dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Seal tightly after opening to prevent contamination or moisture absorption.

  4. Q: Is AEO-20 environmentally friendly?
    A: Yes, it is biodegradable under normal environmental conditions. It breaks down into non-toxic substances over time, making it suitable for green cleaning products or applications requiring low environmental impact.

  5. Q: What if AEO-20 causes skin irritation during use?
    A: Rinse the irritated area with plenty of water immediately. AEO-20 is generally mild, but sensitive skin users should wear gloves during handling. If irritation persists, stop use and consult a professional.
