Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylates (FAE) are non-ionic environmentally friendly and “green” surfactants primarily used in detergents, personal care e.g. for shampoo, as well as for textile and leather processing.
Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate is a clear liquid substance based on the components Fatty Alcohol (FA) from the oleochemical chain and Ethylene Oxide (EO) from the petrochemical chain.
The focus of HELM is on natural based FA produced from palm kernel oil or coconut oil with different carbon chains and EO compositions.
Due to the wide experience in the area of surfactants and the structured supply chain of HELM it is possible to offer a high quality product at competitive prices from different sources/ origins in different kind of packing.
Examples of applications
Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylates are used as hard surface cleaner, for sulphonation to Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphates (SLES), detergents, cleaners, dishwashing, personal care e.g. showergel and hairshampoo, cosmetics, leather and textile processing as well as in the area of paints and agriculture.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylate is a chemical reaction in which ethylene oxide adds to a substrate.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylate is the most widely practiced alkoxylation, which involves the addition of epoxides to substrates.
In the usual application, alcohols and phenols are converted into R(OC2H4)nOH where n ranges from 1 to 10.
Such compounds are called alcohol ethoxylates.
Alcohol ethoxylates are often converted to related species called ethoxysulfates.
Alcohol ethoxylates and ethoxysulfates are surfactants, used widely in cosmetic and other commercial products.
The process is of great industrial significance with more than 2,000,000 metric tons of various ethoxylates produced worldwide in 1994.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylate belong to the class of compounds which are synthesized via the reaction of a fatty alcohol and ethylene oxide, resulting in a molecule that consists of two parts one a carbon-rich, fatty alcohol and the second part a hydrophilic, polyoxyethylene chain.
Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate normal propyl acetate (also known as n-propyl acetate or 1-propyl acetate) is an organic compound with a molecular formula of C5H10O2.
It is commonly used as a solvent in coatings and printing inks. This product is a clear, colourless liquid that has a distinguishable acetate odour. This product is highly flammable with a flash point of 14° C and a flammability rating of 3. It is highly miscible with all common organic solvents (alcohols, ketones, glycols, esters) but has only slight miscibility in water.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates are the largest family of nonionic surfactants.
They are highly useful in applications that serve multiple markets.
Each consists of a hydrophobic group from oleochemical or petrochemical source combined with varying amount of ethylene oxide.
Oxiteno's line of ethoxylated alcohols includes an extensive range of linear and branched hydrophobes, as well as a broad range of degree of ethoxylation.
These act as wetting and solubilizing agents, detergents, dispersants, emulsifiers, emollients, and degreasers.
Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide with fatty alcohol.
SVC offer a wide range of fatty alcohol ethoxylate i.e. Lauryl alcohol, Ceto stearyl alcohol and isodecyl alcohol.
They are excellent Oil / water soluble detergents, emulsifier / co - emulsifier, wetting / cleaning & dispersing agents, intermediate for suphation and find application in various industries such as Textile, Detergent, Agrochemical, Emulsion, personel care, Emulsion Polymerisation & Paints.
Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate are alkyl polyglycol ethers derived from Lauryl-Myristyl Fatty Alcohols (C12-C14), which are mixed of varying in the number of repeating ethoxy groups.
General Applications of Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate:
-Raw Material for the preparation of Ether Sulfate and Sulfosuccinate
-Raw Material for the preparation of Ether Sulfate and Sulfosuccinate
-Detergent
-Raw Material for the preparation of Carboxylate(An anionic surfactant)
-High HLB emulsifier in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates are made from ethylene oxide and fatty alcohol.
They are used as key and intermediate ingredients in the manufacture of personal and home care products, including shampoos, shower creams, detergents, dishwashing liquids and cleaning agents.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylates are derived from natural sources such as palm kernel oil and coconut oil, keeping in line with Thai Ethoxylate’s strategy of combining performance and sustainability in products based on renewable resources.
Benefits of Fatty alcohol ethoxylate:
-Superior wetting
-Rapid dissolution and good rinsibility
-Low odour
-Excellent formulation and handling properties
-Readily biodegradable
-Excellent oily soil removal
APPLICATION of Fatty alcohol ethoxylate
Surfactants: used as raw material for the manufacturer of sodium lauryl ether sulphate (SLES)
Detergents: a base liquid and powder detergents, household cleaning agents, industrial cleaning agents.
Cosmetics & Personal care: used as raw materials in shampoo, body gels and hand cleaners.
Textiles: used as scouring and wetting agents.
Agriculture: used as emulsifiers in herbicides, Insecticides and fertilizers.
Paper: used as wetting agents and improve absorbency.
Rubber: used as stabilizers for rubber.
Leather: used as degreasing and tanning agents.
Paint: used as wetting agents and dispersing agent.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylate is more hydrophobic than ethylene oxide and its inclusion at low levels can significantly affect the properties of the surfactant.
In particular Fatty alcohol ethoxylate which have been 'capped' with ~1 propylene oxide unit are extensively marketed as defoamers.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylate are often converted to the corresponding organosulfates, which can be easily deprotonated to give anionic surfactants such as sodium laureth sulfate.
Being salts, Fatty alcohol ethoxylate exhibit good water solubility (high HLB value).
The conversion is achieved by treating ethoxylated alcohols with sulfur trioxide.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylate are used in a wide variety of industrial and commercial settings.
Because these compounds are surfactants, they can be used whenever oily substances come into contact with water or a surface.
Fatty alcohol ethoxylate can be used as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, degreasers and emollients in many lines of commercially available products and industrial practices.
First-aid measures of Fatty alcohol ethoxylate
General Advice :
If symptoms persist, call a physician.

Get medical attention.
Skin Contact :
Wash off immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes.
If skin irritation persists,call a physician.
Inhalation :
Remove to fresh air.
If not breathing, give artificial respiration.
Get medical attention if symptoms occur.
Ingestion :
Clean mouth with water and drink afterwards plenty of water.
