Product Advantage
Exceptional Performance with Reliable Technical Indicators: POEA-15 features outstanding emulsification, detergency, antistatic, and hard water resistance. Its technical parameters are highly stable—with a pH of 8.0-10.0 (1% aqueous solution), a clear 10% aqueous solution, and a solid content of ≥99%. These precise data ensure consistent effectiveness in various scenarios, eliminating concerns about performance fluctuations for customers.
Broad Compatibility for Flexible Formulation: As a non-ionic surfactant, it has excellent compatibility with other chemicals. Unlike some surfactants that conflict with anionic or oxidizing agents (after pre-testing for compatibility), it can be flexibly blended into different product formulas, reducing formulation limitations for industries like cosmetics and detergents.
Multi-Field Adaptability with Proven Efficacy: It performs well across textiles, cosmetics, metal processing, and more. For example, in textile wool washing, 0.5%-2% concentration achieves thorough cleaning; in metal degreasing, 5%-15% concentration ensures efficient oil removal. These application-specific data validate its adaptability and efficacy.
Cost-Effective and Eco-Friendly Usage: The recommended dosage is scientific and economical—e.g., only 3%-8% in shampoos and 5%-12% in heavy-duty detergents. Moreover, it requires proper post-use wastewater treatment, aligning with environmental standards, helping customers balance cost control and eco-responsibility.
Gentle Protection for Target Substrates: In cosmetics, it protects human skin while cleaning; in metal processing, it inhibits steel rusting and reduces mold friction during wire drawing. This dual function of cleaning and protection avoids damage to processed materials, enhancing product quality for customers.

Product Uses
Textile Industry: It is widely used in wool washing (0.5%-2% concentration for thorough cleaning) and processes like sizing, desizing, scouring, and wool carbonization (0.2%-1% concentration). It also acts as a component of fiber treatment agents and resin finishing aids, improving fiber performance.
Daily Cosmetics Industry: Added to shampoos (3%-8% dosage) and body washes (2%-6% dosage), it provides effective cleaning, moisturizes skin, and offers a mild user experience, making it a key ingredient in personal care products.
Metal Processing Industry: Used as a degreaser (5%-15% concentration) for surface oil removal and a lubricant (3%-10% dosage) in metal wire drawing, it inhibits steel rust and reduces friction between metal and molds.
Other Fields: It is an essential component in heavy-duty liquid detergents (5%-12% dosage for detergents and laundry detergents). In the leather industry, it serves as a penetrant and degreaser (3%-8% concentration) to optimize leather processing.
Concentration Matching: Adjust dosage by field—0.5%-2% for textile wool washing, 3%-8% for shampoos, 5%-15% for metal degreasing. Avoid too low (poor effect) or too high (waste/pollution).
Temperature Control: Use at 40-60℃ for metal degreasing; avoid over-high temp to prevent performance loss or material damage.
Water Quality & Mixing: Use softened water if possible. Test compatibility first when mixing with other chemicals to avoid bad reactions.
Safety & Post-Use: Wear protection to avoid skin/eye contact; rinse with water if contacted. Treat used liquid as per environmental rules.
FAQ
Q: What is the shelf life of POEA-15, and how should it be stored?
A: It has a 2-year shelf life. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated place and transport it as a general chemical. Use 200kg iron drums or 50kg plastic buckets for packaging to keep it stable.
Q: Is POEA-15 harmful to skin, and what to do if it contacts skin/eyes?
A: It has slight skin and eye irritation. Avoid direct contact. If contact occurs, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical help if needed. Ensure good ventilation during use.
Q: Can POEA-15 be used in hard water, and will water quality affect its performance?
A: It has hard water resistance, but calcium/magnesium ions in hard water may slightly reduce its effect. For best results, use softened water or add water softeners when necessary.
Q: Can POEA-15 be mixed with other surfactants, like anionic ones?
A: As a non-ionic surfactant, it may react with anionic surfactants or strong oxidants. Always conduct a small compatibility test first to avoid reducing efficacy or producing harmful substances.
Q: How to confirm the best dosage of POEA-15 for different applications?
A: Refer to recommended dosages (e.g., 0.5%-2% for wool washing). But since factors like formulas vary, test in small batches first to balance effect, cost, and environmental friendliness.
