Lansurf AE33

Lansurf AE33 is a biodegradable, anhydrous nonionic surfactant produced by ethoxylating a branched C13 synthetic alcohol with 3 EO units. It is compatible with soaps, anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants, and provides excellent oil/water and water/oil emulsification, wetting, and detergency.

It is widely used as a co‑emulsifier for mineral oils, waxes, alkyd resins, and paraffinic hydrocarbons.

​

Key Features

​

• Excellent emulsification (O/W and W/O) — provides strong performance as a co‑emulsifier across oils, waxes, and hydrocarbons.

• Strong wetting and detergency — enhances cleaning, spreading, and surface-active behaviour in formulations

• Wide surfactant compatibility — works effectively with anionic, cationic, nonionic surfactants, and soaps.
