Non-Ionic Surfactants
Alkyl phenyl and fatty alcohol ethoxylate ladders plus methyl ester ethoxylate, covering HLB 7.6 to 18.
Every Non-Ionic Surfactants Grade We Publish
Selecting a non-ionic surfactant is mostly selecting an HLB value, and then checking the cloud point against your process temperature. These three families publish both. Seventeen grades are listed with HLB, cloud point, hydroxyl value and pH, so a shortlist can be built before any sample moves.
Alkyl Phenyl Polyoxyethylene Ether NP-4 to NP-40
Non-ionic surfactant series from NP-4 to NP-40, covering HLB 8.9 to 18 for emulsifying, wetting and levelling.
View technical dataFatty Alcohol Polyethylene Glycol Ether AEO Series
Fatty alcohol ethoxylate series from A-5 to O-25, HLB 7.6 to 17.4, for textile, metal cleaning and fibre oil work.
View technical dataFatty Acid Methyl Ester Ethoxylates FMEE
Low-foaming, fast-rinsing methyl ester ethoxylate for industrial and hard surface cleaning, made by direct ethoxylation.
View technical dataProblems This Family Solves
- Emulsions breaking because HLB is not matched to the oil phase
- Surfactant dropping out of solution above its cloud point
- Alkyl phenol ethoxylates blocked by a restricted substance list
- Foam slowing down rinsing on a machine cleaning line
Who It Is For
- Textile auxiliary and dyeing chemical formulators
- Industrial and institutional cleaner producers
- Agrochemical and metalworking fluid formulators
- Chemical fibre oil producers
Why Buyers Choose This Range
- Seventeen grades published with HLB, cloud point and pH
- Two backbones available, alkyl phenyl and fatty alcohol, for restricted substance lists
- FMEE offers low foam and fast defoaming for industrial cleaning
- All grades ship as non-dangerous goods
Typical Application Scenarios
- Building a stearic acid or paraffin emulsion around a known HLB
- Replacing an NPE grade with a fatty alcohol equivalent
- Reformulating a hard surface cleaner to rinse faster
