Alkyl Ether Carboxylates have excellent lather, foam stability and low irritation
Alkyl Ether Carboxylates is an anionic surfactant that is friendly to people and the environment with little irritation and good biodegradability.
Alkyl Ether Carboxylates have good solubility in water and excellent water resistance.
Derivatives with alkyl chains longer than C16 and with low ethoxylation degrees are w/o emulsifiers very stable also in extreme temperature and pH conditions (metalworking and oil & gas sectors).
Alkyl Ether Carboxylates are classified into different types based on the number of ethoxy (EO) groups, chain length of the alkyl group, and the specific functionalization of the molecules.
The Alkyl Ether Carboxylates products offer a wide range of secondary surfactants with excellent tolerance against hard water.
Similar to the AKYPO SOFT grades Alkyl Ether Carboxylates are mild co-surfactants and function as emulsifiers and solubilizers.
Alkyl Ether Carboxylates is extremely mild and compatible with other surfactants as well as ideal as co–surfactants and coupling agents.
Alkyl Ether Carboxylates is a group of anionic surfactants commonly used in personal care, industrial, and cleaning applications.

CHEMISTRY OF ALKYL ETHER CARBOXYLATES:
Alkyl Ether Carboxylates derive from the carboxymethylation of fatty alcohol ethoxylates with sodium monochloroacetate.
The Alkylethers Carboxylates developed by our team have a “soap-like” structure with a polyoxyethylene chain, inserted between the fatty chain and the carboxylic group, that greatly improves the solubility in hard water.
