Lansurf AE107

Product Category: Nonionics

C10 Alcohol Ethoxylates with 7 Moles of Ethylene Oxide

INCI Name: Isodeceth‑7

Quick Links

Lansurf AE107 is a biodegradable nonionic surfactant produced by the reaction of seven moles of ethylene oxide with a 2‑propyl heptanol base. This degree of ethoxylation provides excellent detergency, wetting, and emulsifying properties, making the product suitable for a wide range of formulation types.

 

Lansurf AE107 offers a strong environmental profile and is readily biodegradable, while also maintaining broad compatibility with soaps and anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants.

​

Key Features

​​

  • Great detergency and wetting performance - Provides strong detergency and effective wetting due to its 7‑mole ethoxylation level.
    • Readily biodegradable with a positive environmental profile - Classified as readily biodegradable, offering a favorable environmental profile.
    • Effective substitute for C9–11 ethoxylates (5–7 EO) - Designed as a compatible and efficient replacement for C9–11 ethoxylates within similar ethoxylation ranges.
