C12-14 Alcohol Ethoxylate 9EO / Laureth-9 (AEO-9) CAS 68439-50-9, Oil-in-Water Emulsifier (HLB 13-14) with Excellent Emulsification, Detergency & Degreasing
Product Overview
C12-14 Alcohol Ethoxylate 9EO / Laureth-9 is a high-performance nonionic surfactant with excellent penetration, emulsification, wetting, and detergency properties. Its cleaning, penetration, wetting, and emulsification effects surpass those of TX-10. The product is APEO-free, highly biodegradable, and environmentally friendly.
It blends well with various surfactants including anionic, nonionic, and cationic types, demonstrating significant synergistic effects. This reduces additive consumption, improves cost-effectiveness, enhances paint thickener performance, and improves solvent system rinsing properties.
