AEO - Names and Identifiers
AEO - Introduction
AEO, all known as alkyl ether alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, is a non-ionic surfactant. It is prepared by reacting an alkyl alcohol with an ethoxylating agent in the presence of a catalyst. AEO usually has a longer carbon chain with a certain number of oxyethylene groups attached to it.
AEO has good surface activity and emulsifying properties, which can reduce the surface tension of the liquid and promote the dispersion and stability of the mixture. It is widely used in various fields, such as detergents, emulsifiers, lubricants, foaming agents, softeners and textile auxiliaries.
AEO is generally prepared by adding an alkyl alcohol and an ethoxylating agent (ethoxyethanol) to a reaction vessel and reacting under the action of a catalyst (such as an alkaline or acidic catalyst). In this process, ethoxyethanol will gradually react with alkyl alcohol to form AEO.
Regarding the safety information of AEO, it is a low-toxic chemical. During use, care should be taken to avoid prolonged contact with skin and eyes, as well as inhalation of its vapor or dust. If you come into contact with AEO, rinse immediately with water and consult your doctor's advice. When storing, transporting and handling AEO, safety measures such as fire prevention, explosion prevention, anti-static and ventilation should be emphasized.
