Lansurf AE108W

Lansurf AE108W is a nonionic surfactant derived from the ethoxylation of 2‑propyl heptanol with 8 moles of ethylene oxide. This level of ethoxylation provides an excellent balance of detergency and wetting performance, making it highly versatile across a broad range of formulations. The product also offers a favourable environmental profile and is readily biodegradable, supporting the development of more sustainable cleaning and industrial systems.

 

Key Features

 

• Excellent detergency and wetting performance – Its 8‑mole ethoxylation level gives it strong cleaning power and highly efficient wetting, making it effective across both industrial and household cleaning applications.

• Readily biodegradable with a strong environmental profile – Lansurf AE108W is designed to meet sustainability‑focused formulation needs, offering high biodegradability while maintaining strong performance.

• Robust alternative to C9–11 ethoxylates (7–9 EO) – It delivers comparable emulsification and wetting efficiency, providing formulators with a reliable, lower‑impact substitute for traditional C9–11 alcohol ethoxylates.
