Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylate (LAE) is a nonionic surfactant widely used in the industrial and consumer goods fields. With its excellent chemical properties and multi-functionality, LAE plays a significant role in multiple industrial scenarios such as cleaning, emulsification, and wetting.
As an export-oriented chemical enterprise with over 10 years of successful experience, Dotachem will take you on a deep dive into the core performance, application fields of LAE, as well as our outstanding advantages in this area.
Excellent decontamination ability
LAE significantly improves the cleaning effect by reducing the surface tension of water and enhancing its ability to penetrate oil stains and dust. LAE is an indispensable key ingredient in detergents, hand sanitizers and industrial cleaners.
Outstanding emulsifying and dispersing performance
LAE can effectively mix incompatible liquids (such as oil and water) to form stable emulsions. This characteristic enables it to be widely applied in fields such as cosmetics, food, pesticides and paints, playing a key role as an emulsifier and dispersant.
Highly efficient wetting and penetrating ability
LAE can quickly wet the surface and promote the penetration of liquid into the interior of solid materials. During the textile printing and dyeing process, this characteristic can significantly enhance the adsorption capacity of dyes on fabrics, ensuring uniform dyeing.
Good biodegradability and low-temperature stability
LAE has excellent biodegradability and complies with environmental protection regulations. Meanwhile, it has excellent low-temperature performance and is not affected by water hardness, making it particularly suitable for washing synthetic fibers.
Industrial cleaning field
LAE is often used in industrial cleaning agents such as metal cleaning and hard surface cleaning, and can effectively remove oil stains and dirt. For instance, LAE plays a significant role in areas such as car engine cleaning and industrial equipment cleaning.
Textile printing and dyeing industry
In the pretreatment and post-treatment processes of textile printing and dyeing, LAE can enhance the dispersion and permeability of dyes, ensuring uniform dyeing. Meanwhile, LAE can also be used as a component of spinning oiling agents for synthetic fibers such as polyester, enhancing the processing performance of the fibers.
The field of pesticides and cosmetics
As an emulsifier for pesticides, LAE can help pesticides be evenly dispersed in water, enhancing the application effect of pesticides. In cosmetics, LAE is used for emulsification, dispersion and wetting, enhancing the stability and user experience of the products.
The petroleum and papermaking industry
In oil extraction and processing, LAE can be used as an emulsifier and demulsifier. During the papermaking process, LAE participates in the sizing and coating of the paper, improving its performance and quality.
