LUTENSOL AO 4 is a polyethylene glycol ether of a mixture of synthetic C13 to C15 fatty alcohols with an average of 21 moles of ethylene oxide.
LUTENSOL AO 4 are non-ionic surfactants derived from the ethoxylation of fatty alcohols, specifically those with carbon chain lengths ranging from 13 to 15.
LUTENSOL AO 4 typically exhibit excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making them valuable in various applications, including personal care products, detergents, and industrial formulations.

Synonyms
Alcohols, C13-15, ethoxylated;(7R,8S)-7-(dipropylamino)-8-methyl-tetralin-1-ol;Alcohol-(C13-C15), ethoxylated;(7R,8S)-7-(dipropylamino)-8-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydronaphthalen-1-ol
They are characterized by their hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB), which influences their solubility and effectiveness in different environments.
LUTENSOL AO 4 is generally biodegradable and have low toxicity, contributing to their appeal in eco-friendly formulations.
Additionally, they can enhance the stability of emulsions and improve the texture of products.
However, the specific properties, such as viscosity and surface tension, can vary based on the degree of ethoxylation and the presence of other ingredients in a formulation.
Overall, these surfactants are versatile and widely used in both consumer and industrial applications due to their functional benefits and favorable environmental profile.
