Product Advantage

Excellent Emulsifying Ability: AEO - 5 (MOA - 5) excels in emulsifying mineral oils and fatty solvents. With a hydroxyl value of 130 - 140 mgKOH/g, it forms stable w/o emulsions, ensuring efficient mixing of immiscible substances.
Good Solubility Profile: It is easily soluble in oils and polar solvents. In water, it spreads in a diffusion - like manner, enabling seamless integration into diverse formulation systems.
Stable pH Range: The pH of its 1% aqueous solution is 5.0 - 7.0, making it stable in neutral conditions. This stability allows consistent performance in various industrial settings.
Low Water Content: With water content ≤1.0%, it boasts high purity. This reduces the chance of unwanted reactions and ensures reliable performance across applications.

Product Uses

Emulsifier in Mineral Oil Systems: It is used as a w/o emulsifier for mineral oils and fatty solvents, enabling uniform mixing in industries like lubricant production.
Defoamer in PVC Paste: Serves as a defoamer in polyvinyl chloride plastic paste, improving the quality and appearance of PVC products.
Emulsifier in Chemical Fiber Oil: Widely used as an emulsifier in chemical fiber oils, aiding in the smooth processing of chemical fibers.
Raw Material for AES Production: AEO - 5 is a main raw material for producing AES, playing a crucial role in surfactant synthesis.

Usage & Handling Guide

1、Start with a 0.5%-5% dosage (adjust by industry: e.g., 1%-3% for cosmetics, 2%-5% for detergents).

2、Add AEO-5 to water or oil phase (based on your formulation) at 40-60°C, stir gently until fully dissolved.

3、Mix with other ingredients, then continue stirring for 5-10 minutes to ensure uniform dispersion.

4、Avoid high temperatures (>80°C) to preserve performance. Test a small batch first for optimal results.

FAQ

1. Can AEO-5 dissolve in cold water?

AEO-5 has limited solubility in cold water (below 30°C) and may form a milky solution. For full dissolution, preheat water to 40-60°C first—this helps it mix evenly without clumps, ensuring stable formulation performance.

2. How to store AEO-5 to prevent quality degradation?

Store AEO-5 in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area (15-30°C) away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Seal the container tightly after use to avoid moisture absorption, which could cause caking. Proper storage preserves its emulsifying ability for 12-24 months.

3. Is AEO-5 safe for skin contact in cosmetic products?

Cosmetic-grade AEO-5 is mild and low-irritating, suitable for skincare/haircare. It meets global safety standards (e.g., FDA, EU CosIng). However, avoid direct contact with undiluted AEO-5—always use it in formulated products at recommended 1%-3% dosages.

4. Can AEO-5 be replaced with other AEO grades (e.g., AEO-3, AEO-7)?

Not directly. AEO-5 has 5 ethylene oxide units, balancing emulsification and solubility. AEO-3 is more oil-soluble (for heavy-duty cleaners), while AEO-7 is more water-soluble (for lotions). Test compatibility first if substituting to avoid formulation issues.

5. Why does my AEO-5-based product separate over time?

Separation often stems from incorrect dosage (too low, <0.5%) or inadequate stirring. Ensure you use 0.5%-5% AEO-5, stir at 40-60°C until fully dissolved, and mix with other ingredients for 5-10 minutes. High temperatures (>80°C) may also damage its stability.
