Lansurf CAO

Lansurf COA is a nonionic surfactant based on Lauryl Amineoxide, designed to deliver high foaming, excellent detergency, and strong foam stability across a wide range of cleaning formulations. As a member of the amine oxide family, it is compatible with all surfactant classes, including anionic, cationic, nonionic, and amphoteric systems.

​

Lauryl Amineoxide exhibits excellent stability in acidic and hypochlorite (bleach‑containing) environments, making it a highly effective surfactant for applications requiring robustness under harsh chemical conditions. It also acts as a viscosity builder, enabling improved formulation rheology in both household and industrial cleaning products.

​

Environmentally, Lansurf COA is readily biodegradable and not expected to persist in the environment, supporting its use in modern, sustainability‑driven product development.

​

Key Features

​

• Nonionic/amphoteric surfactant with strong cleaning performance.

• Provides excellent foam boosting and foam stability, suitable for high‑foaming applications.

• Functions as a viscosity builder, enhancing formulation body and texture.

• Stable in acidic and hypochlorite solutions, ideal for bleach cleaners and bathroom formulations.

• Readily biodegradable, supporting eco‑friendly formulations.

​

Applications

 

Lansurf COA is widely used across homecare, industrial, and institutional cleaning sectors due to its high foaming, excellent detergency, foam stability, and broad surfactant compatibility.

​

Household Cleaning Applications
Lansurf CAO provides strong cleaning, wetting, and foam boosting performance, making it ideal for a wide range of domestic cleaning formulations.
- Household general‑purpose cleaners
- Bathroom cleaners (including acidic and bleach products, due to high hypochlorite stability) 
- Dishwashing liquids (effective detergent and foam stabiliser)
- Kitchen surface cleaners (grease‑cutting and foam‑boosting behaviour)

​

Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning
Lansurf COA performs exceptionally well in heavy‑duty and high‑performance cleaning formulations owing to its detergency, viscosity‑building, and stability in harsh systems.
- Industrial all‑purpose cleaners
- Degreasers and heavy‑duty surface cleaners (excellent soil removal and emulsification) 
- Car wash systems (foam enhancer and detergent)
- Sanitising products (supports cleansing action and foam profile) 

​

Bleach‑Based and Acidic Cleaner Systems
Lansurf CAO strong chemical stability enables use in harsh cleaning environments.
- Hypochlorite (bleach) cleaners (stable in sodium hypochlorite) 
- Acidic bathroom cleaners (stable at low pH, retains performance)

​

Personal Care Applications
Due to its mildness, foaming ability, and viscosity‑enhancement, it is also found in personal cleansing formulations.
- Shampoos and hair cleansers (foam enhancer, thickener)
- Body washes & shower gels (rich, stable lather)
- Facial cleansers and hand washes (mild surfactant with good foam profile)

​

Additional Industrial Uses
- Hard‑surface cleaning agents (secondary surfactant for soil removal)
- Formulations requiring viscosity building (thickening behaviour improves product feel and dispersion)
