C8-18 Ethoxylated Propoxylated

INCI Name: Alcohols, C8‑18, ethoxylated propoxylated

Quick Links

Lansurf AEP66 is a biodegradable nonionic surfactant produced by the controlled reaction of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide with a synthetic primary fatty alcohol. This balanced EO/PO structure provides excellent performance across a wide range of formulation types.

 

Lansurf AEP66 exhibits high compatibility with soaps, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants and other nonionic systems, making it a versatile component for complex formulations. It delivers effective wetting, detergency, and emulsification while maintaining a low-foam profile, making it suitable for applications where foam control is essential.

 

Its biodegradability and broad formulation compatibility make Lansurf AEP66 an excellent choice for applications in household, industrial, and institutional cleaning, as well as in agricultural and general chemical processing systems.

​

Key Features

​

  • Biodegradable Nonionic Surfactant - Environmentally responsible EO/PO fatty alcohol derivative offering versatile formulation performance.

  • High Compatibility with Multiple Surfactant Types - Fully compatible with soaps, anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants—ideal for blended systems.

  • Effective Wetting and Detergency with Low Foam - Provides strong cleaning and wetting action while maintaining a controlled, low‑foam profile.
