Lansurf AE35

Product Category: Nonionics

Tridecanol Ethoxylate with 5 Moles of Ethylene Oxide

INCI Name: Trideceth‑5

Quick Links

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.

​

Key Features

​

  • Excellent emulsification performance — effective in both oil‑in‑water and water‑in‑oil systems.

  • Strong wetting and detergency properties, making it suitable for cleaning, surface treatment, and industrial formulations.

  • Biodegradable, anhydrous nonionic surfactant offering high purity and broad compatibility with other surfactants.
