1. Highlights of environmental protection and safety APEO-free formula: AEO series (such as AEO-9) does not contain alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (APEO), avoiding the risk of endocrine interference from traditional NP/OP surfactants on the environment and the human body, and complies with the requirements of the EU REACH and China's "Key Control List of New Pollutants" and other regulations.

High biodegradability: rapid degradation in the natural environment, reducing water pollution, especially suitable for daily chemical and industrial cleaning fields that are strictly required for environmental protection12. Low skin irritation: AEO-9 and other models are extremely low in unreacted alcohol content, suitable for cosmetics (such as face creams, shampoos), providing a gentle care experience17.

2. Multifunctional and efficient performance Excellent cleaning and emulsification capabilities

Daily chemical field: AEO-9 has both detergent removal, solubilization and low foaming properties, and is especially suitable for high-energy-efficient (HE) washing machine formulas, with significant low-temperature washing effects.

Industrial application: As textile uniforming agent, pesticide emulsifier, oil field oil repellent, etc., it exhibits excellent dispersion and hard water resistance.

Synergistic efficiency: It can be combined with anion (such as LABSA) and cationic surfactants to reduce the overall formulation cost and improve decontamination efficiency17.

3. Flexible adaptation of technical parameters Diversified EO number: From AEO-3 (oil-soluble) to AEO-25 (water-soluble powder), the HLB value covers 6~16.7, meeting different hydrophilic/lipophilic needs. For example:

AEO-3: used in W/O emulsions and synthetic fiber oil agents;

AEO-9: High HLB value (13-14), suitable for water-based cleaning agents and cosmetic emulsification 57.

There are many physical forms: liquid (such as AEO-7), paste or solid (such as AEO-25), which is convenient for use in different process scenarios.

4. Cost and supply chain advantages

Raw material cost optimization: The main raw materials are natural fatty alcohols (palm oil/coconut oil-derived) and ethylene oxide. The price of palm oil in 2024 fell by about 15% compared with the high in 2023, and the production cost pressure was alleviated by 39.

Seafreight cost dividends: Based on the current low seafreight price trough, the transportation cost of imported raw materials or exported finished products has been significantly reduced, enhancing price competitiveness39.

Large-scale production capacity: The monthly production capacity of leading suppliers (such as Yeser Chemicals) reaches 10,000 tons, supporting large-scale stable supply of 6.

5. Broad market prospects

Alternative to traditional surfactants: With the global ban on NP/OP products, demand for AEO as an environmentally friendly alternative has surged, and the annual compound growth rate of market size is expected to be significant from 2023 to 2029 39.

Multi-industry penetration: In addition to daily chemicals (accounting for 60% of demand), the application of textiles, agriculture, petroleum and other fields has been expanded. For example, AEO-9 is used for pesticide emulsification, which can improve the efficacy and adhesion of pharmaceuticals 2710.

High-end trend: High-EO number products (such as AEO-15) have higher gross profit margins in industrial cleaning agents (10%-15% higher than daily chemical grade), promoting product upgrades 39.

Summarize With its environmental compliance, versatility and cost advantages, AEO series products have become the core choice of the surfactant market. For purchasers, it is recommended to prioritize long-term contracts for medium and low-price window periods, and pay attention to high value-added models (such as AEO-9 and AEO-15) to enhance competitiveness. If specific model technical parameters or supplier matching are required, further application scenario details can be provided.
