Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylate (AEO-2) : characteristics and industry application value

2025-10-22


The Lauryl Alcohol Ethoxylate (AEO) series, with its adjustable ethylene oxide (EO) addition ratio, meets the functional requirements of different industries. AEO-2, as the model with a relatively low EO addition ratio in this series, features a hydrophobic and lipophilic balance characteristic. As an export-oriented enterprise specializing in the supply of fine chemical products, Dotachem provides efficient solutions for fields such as daily chemicals and industrial cleaning.


AEO-2 is a nonionic surfactant formed by the polymerization of lauryl alcohol and two ethylene oxides. Its low HLB value makes it an excellent water-in-oil emulsifier, with fine and stable emulsified particles. It features excellent interfacial activity and dispersing power, strong chemical stability, compatibility with multiple surfactants, and resistance to hard water. At the same time, it has good low-temperature fluidity, is easy to store, and has good biodegradability, being environmentally friendly and friendly.


Due to these characteristics, AEO-2 is particularly widely used in the daily chemical and personal care industries, such as creams, lotions and other skin care products, as well as makeup remover oils and creams. It can enhance the dissolving and emulsifying ability of makeup, and is gentle and non-irritating. In addition, in hair care essential oils, AEO-2 can be used as a dispersant.


Industrial cleaning and metal processing industry is another core application field of AEO-2. In metal degreasing agents, AEO-2 can be compounded with solvent-based cleaning agents (such as kerosene and diesel) to enhance the emulsification ability of residues on metal surfaces. In addition, AEO-2 can also be used as a pigment dispersant in the industrial coatings and inks industry to enhance the adhesion of coatings.


Dotachem's AEO-2 products can provide small-batch sample services based on the specific applications of customers, support flexible logistics and packaging solutions, and meet the needs of different procurement scales.
