Fatty Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether AEO 2
1. Basic features of AEO-2
Chemical structure: It is made of polymerization of C12-C18 fatty alcohol and 2 ethylene oxide (EO) units, and is a nonionic surfactant with low EO number.
Key parameters: HLB value: about 7-8, strong lipophilicity, suitable for water-in-oil (W/O) system 6.
Appearance: Colorless to light yellow liquid, low viscosity, easy to soluble in oily solvent .
Hydroxyl value: 170~180 mgKOH/g 4.
Environmental protection: It does not contain APEO (alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether), complies with the requirements of EU REACH and other environmental protection regulations .
2. Core application areas
Textile Industry Synthetic fiber oil agent: As a component of polyester and nylon spinning oil agent, it provides lubricity and reduces static electricity .
Hydrophobic finishing agent emulsification: improves coating uniformity .
Metal processing Cutting fluid/rolling fluid: As an emulsifier and lubricant, it enhances cooling and rust resistance 6.
Pesticide preparations
Emulsion oil formula: used for emulsification of high concentrations of pesticides (such as pyrethroids), improving the stability of the drug solution .
Leather Industry Grease additive: Helps oil penetrate leather fibers and improves softness .
3. Zhengzhou Mahaco Industrial Co Ltd Company Background Production capacity: It has an AEO series (including AEO-2) production line, and the monthly production capacity is not clear, but the company's overall chemical production capacity covers multiple fields (such as polyaluminum chloride, surfactants, etc.)
Qualification Certification: Passed a number of international certifications and possessed export qualifications. The main markets include Europe, America, Southeast Asia and other regions .
Supply chain advantages: Provide customized services and support small batch sample orders (such as starting from 1,000 kg).
4. Market procurement suggestions Technical adaptation verification In industrial applications, we need to pay attention to the compatibility of the HLB value of AEO-2 and the formula to avoid failure of the water-based formula due to excessive lipophilicity. 6. Can be combined with high HLB value surfactants (such as AEO-9) and extend the application range (such as W/O/W multiple emulsions).
Key points of quality control Free alcohol content: Required <1% to ensure emulsification stability .
EO distribution narrowness: Select narrow distribution process products (such as Real Madrid Technology) to improve performance consistency 6. Cost optimization Raw material costs: In 2024, palm oil prices fell by 15% year-on-year, the supply of ethylene oxide stabilized, and the production cost pressure decreased 6. Sea freight bonus: The freight rates for Southeast Asia to Europe and the United States have been reduced by more than 50%, which can reduce logistics costs .
5. Zhengzhou Mahaco's competitive advantage Diversified product lines: In addition to the AEO series, the company also produces chemicals such as SLES (sodium lauryl sulfate), polyaluminum chloride, etc., supporting customers' one-stop procurement 8. Environmental compliance: Actively respond to global environmental protection trends, and products comply with international standards such as NSF. Customized services: Supports the adjustment of the EO number distribution and physical form of AEO-2 (liquid or paste) according to customer needs .
Summarize Zhengzhou Mahaco Industrial Co Ltd is an important manufacturer of the AEO series surfactants. With its lipophilicity, environmental protection and cost advantages, Zhengzhou Mahaco Industrial Co Ltd is irreplaceable in the fields of textiles, pesticides and metal processing. Recommended purchasers: Short-term strategy: use the current window of double reduction in raw materials and sea transportation costs to increase stocking; Long-term cooperation: Cooperate with companies to develop narrowly distributed or customized AEO-2 products to enhance the competitiveness of the segmented market.
