Description
Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate (AEO-7) is a non-ionic surfactant belonging to the fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether series. Its chemical name usually refers to the polyoxyethylene ether synthesized through the reaction between fatty alcohol and ethylene oxide, where "AEO" represents the ethoxylation product of fatty alcohol, and the number "7" indicates the average moles of ethylene oxide added.
Solubility: AEO-7 has good solubility, able to dissolve in water and various organic solvents.
- **Surface Activity**: As a surfactant, AEO-7 can significantly reduce the interfacial tension between water and oil, promoting emulsification, wetting, and dispersion.
- **Widespread Use**: It is widely used in detergents, textile processing, papermaking, cosmetics, pesticides, and other fields. In detergents, it serves as a mild cleaning agent to enhance cleaning effectiveness while being skin-friendly. In textile processing, it is used as a softener and wetting agent, improving the processing performance and quality of textiles.
- **Environmental Friendliness**: Compared to traditional ionic surfactants, AEO-7 is more environmentally friendly with good biodegradability.
### Safety and Environmental Impact
The fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether series of surfactants are generally considered to be relatively safe and environmentally friendly. They have a high degree of biodegradability, minimizing long-term cumulative environmental impacts. However, the use of any chemical substance should follow safety guidelines, especially in industrial applications, to properly manage potential impacts on the environment and human health.

Product Parameters
Chemical Structure
Chemical Name: Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether (AEO-7).
Chemical Formula: The specific formula depends on the type of fatty alcohol used, but it can be generally represented as R-(OCH2CH2)7-OH, where R represents the alkyl chain of the fatty alcohol, and (OCH2CH2)7 denotes seven ethylene oxide units in sequence.
Molecular Weight: The molecular weight varies with the carbon chain length of the starting fatty alcohol and the exact number of ethoxylation units but typically ranges between 300 and 500.
Physical Properties
Appearance: AEO-7 is usually a colorless to pale yellow liquid or paste.
Solubility: It is highly soluble in water and can mix with various organic solvents, such as ethanol and acetone.
Cloud Point: As a non-ionic surfactant, AEO-7 forms a cloudy appearance in aqueous solutions at a certain concentration. This temperature is known as the cloud point, which varies with the fatty alcohol chain length and the number of ethoxylation units.
Chemical Properties
Stability: AEO-7 is chemically stable at room temperature but may decompose under high temperatures or in acidic or alkaline conditions.
Reactivity: It can react with acids and bases, forming corresponding hydrolysis or esterification products.
Biodegradability: It has good biodegradability, making it an environmentally friendly chemical substance.
Application-related Chemical Characteristics
Surface Activity: It significantly reduces the surface and interfacial tension of liquids, promoting emulsification, dispersion, and wetting.
Emulsifying Properties: It can effectively emulsify immiscible substances such as oil and water, widely used in the production of emulsifiers and detergents.
Wetting and Penetration Properties: It enhances the wetting and penetration capabilities of materials, beneficial for the performance of detergents and softeners.
Uses
AEO-7, a type of non-ionic surfactant in the fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether family, serves various purposes across different industries due to its excellent surface activity and compatibility with both water and many organic solvents. Here are some of its primary uses:
Cleaning Agents: AEO-7 is used in the formulation of both industrial and household cleaning products due to its ability to reduce surface tension, which improves the wetting and cleaning of surfaces.
Laundry Detergents: It acts as a mild surfactant in laundry detergents, enhancing the removal of oils and greases from fabrics without being too harsh on the materials.
Cosmetics and Skincare: In cosmetic formulations, AEO-7 serves as an emulsifier or solubilizer, helping to mix oil-based and water-based ingredients effectively. It's used in products like creams, lotions, and shampoos for its mild properties and ability to produce a creamy lather.
Textile Processing: AEO-7 is employed as a wetting agent and emulsifier in textile processing, aiding in the even distribution of dyes and finishing agents across fabrics. It can also act as a softening agent, enhancing the feel and drape of textile products.
Pesticide Formulations: It can improve the efficacy of agricultural chemicals by increasing their solubility, spreading, and penetration into plants. AEO-7 is used in the formulation of herbicides, insecticides, and fungicides, helping active ingredients disperse evenly and stick to plant surfaces.
Paper Processing: AEO-7 is utilized in the paper-making process as a de-inking agent for recycled paper and as a wetting agent to improve the paper's quality and production efficiency.
Stabilizing Agent: In the production of synthetic rubbers and plastics, AEO-7 can act as an emulsifier and stabilizer during the polymerization process, leading to more uniform and stable polymer products.
Oil Recovery: It can be used in enhanced oil recovery processes due to its ability to reduce the interfacial tension between oil and water, improving the efficiency of oil extraction from reservoirs.
