Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylate

C12 Alcohol Ethoxylate, 98% Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylate

A nonionic, biodegradable surfactant made from the ethylene oxide adduct of Lauryl Alcohol, available across the LE series of grades for application-specific formulation.

HLB 6.4 - 17.5 14 Grades - LE-2 to LE-30 Nonionic & Biodegradable

Overview

Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylate is also known as Polyoxyethylene Lauryl Alcohol, Lauryl Myristyl Alcohol Ethoxylate, Polyoxyethylene Lauryl, Myristyl Alcohol Ethoxylate and Polyethylene Glycol Lauryl. It varies in physical characteristics from clear to bit hazy, colorless to white solid. Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylates are nonionic and biodegradable, made up of the ethylene oxide adduct of Lauryl Alcohol.

Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylate is widely used in various industrial applications in the textile, pharmaceutical, chemical and agriculture field. These surfactants are used as wetting agents, emulsifiers, room cleaning solutions, metalworking and leather processing factories.
