Definition & Chemical Structure
The chemical structure of linear alcohol ethoxylate is R(OCH2CH2)nOH. Linear alcohol ethoxylate is a non-ionic surfactant with wide applications, being relied on to create high-volume or low-volume foams. A water-soluble surfactant with excellent surface tension properties and strong dispersant characteristics, linear alcohol ethoxylate is a key ingredient in numerous household cleaning products, liquids, and detergents.
To ensure safe consumer use, alcohol ethoxylate must be blended or mixed at Polyventive recommended formulations and concentrations. While safe for household and everyday use, these concentrations ensure correct levels of moisture percentage, hydroxyl, and pH values.
One of the more important reasons alcohol ethoxylate is used in household cleaning products and liquids is its excellent antibacterial properties, making it a key ingredient in cleaners that remove mold and fungus. It is one of the more important compounds for companies making household cleaning liquids and soaps and is also used extensively for shampoos, conditioners, and hand and facial cleaners.
It is also heavily relied upon for industrial and commercial cleaners, being an effective compound for industrial cleaning liquids in multiple industries.
Properties of Linear Alcohol Ethoxylates
A biodegradable chemical solution, linear alcohol ethoxylates do not cause skin irritations, provided they are mixed, blended, or formulated in the correct concentrations. When not formulated properly, linear alcohol ethoxylates can cause mild skin irritation for certain users. However, linear alcohol ethoxylates are highly effective at removing stains, residue, and dirt on fabrics, different surfaces, and materials.
The amount of linear alcohol ethoxylate compounds plays a critical role in the richness and volume of soap foams for liquid soaps, shampoos, bath gels, dishwasher detergents, and laundry detergents.
Commonly Used in Personal Care Items & Industrial Cleaning Products
Largely used in home products like laundry and dishwasher detergents and personal hygiene care products, linear alcohol ethoxylates have multiple industrial and commercial cleaning applications. Linear alcohol ethoxylates are used throughout industries such as automotive, agriculture, and metal processing, while also being heavily relied upon in the textile finishes industry.
Within the automotive industry, linear alcohol ethoxylates are relied upon for many after-market synthetic oils, helping to provide much-needed lubrication to moving parts. Certain formulations can also help improve viscosity.
In agricultural applications, linear alcohol ethoxylates are a key additive for agrochemical formulations, helping to ensure crops and plants are free of insects, weeds, fungi, growth, and disease.
In industrial machining and manufacturing, linear alcohol ethoxylate compounds are used in lubricants and oils that ensure properly lubricating metal mating surfaces don’t encounter excess friction, leading to catastrophic failure or metal fractures.
