Lansurf AE247

Lansurf AE247 is a biodegradable nonionic surfactant produced by reacting ethylene oxide with a natural C12–14 fatty alcohol. It is highly versatile in formulation work because it is compatible with soaps, anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants, allowing broad use across cleaning and detergent systems. The material exhibits good wetting, strong detergency, and effective oil‑in‑water emulsification, making it suitable for both household and industrial cleaning applications.

​

Key Features

​

• Nonionic surfactant with excellent emulsification for mineral oils and paraffins.

• Good wetting performance for rapid surface penetration and improved cleaning.

• Good detergency suitable for household, industrial, and institutional cleaning formulations.

​

Applications

​

Household Cleaning Products
- Household surface cleaners & multipurpose cleaners.
- Dishwashing and other general detergents.
- Specifically boosts cleaning performance in household cleaning products via high detergency and wetting.

​

Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning
- Hard‑surface cleaners, laundry pre‑spotters, and industrial degreasers.
- I&I cleaners (AE247 is explicitly recommended here).
- Applications in machine cleaning, metals, and bottle‑rinsing when using related AE‑series products.

​

Laundry Care
- Used as a wetting agent and surfactant in laundry detergents and stain‑removal systems.
- Lansurf AE247 is directly recommended for laundry detergent formulations.

​

Vehicle Cleaning
- Suitable for vehicle and traffic film cleaners (direct claim for AE247).
- Other C12‑14 ethoxylates (e.g., AE244) support similar applications.

​

Personal‑Care Products
- Foaming agent in shampoos and bath gels.
- Emulsifier/surfactant in lotions, creams, cleansers, sunscreens.

​

Textile & Leather Processing
- Used as a wetting agent to aid dye uptake and fiber compatibility.
- General C12‑14 ethoxylates also show strong wetting efficiency in textile applications.

​

Industrial Chemical Manufacturing
- Serves as a surfactant intermediate, including sulfonation to produce SLES. 
- Acts as an emulsifier/dispersant in paints, coatings, and related processes.
