Lansurf AE35
Product Category: Nonionics
Tridecanol Ethoxylate with 5 Moles of Ethylene Oxide
INCI Name: Trideceth‑5
Lansurf AE35 is a biodegradable nonionic surfactant manufactured by the reaction of ethylene oxide with a synthetic primary alcohol. It is anhydrous in nature and exhibits excellent Oil/Water and Water/Oil emulsification, along with strong wetting and detergency properties.
Lansurf AE35 is fully compatible with soaps, as well as anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants, making it highly versatile for use in a wide range of formulations.
