Products in Metal Manufacturing & Finishing: Alcohol Ethoxylates

Lutensol® AT 18 20% (C16-18 fatty alcohol ethoxylates) are nonionic surfactants. They are alkyl polyethylene glycol ethers made from a linear, saturated C16C18 fatty alcohol and are available from medium EO degree to high EO degree.

Lutensol® XL 100 is available in liquid form, is a versatile chemical designed to function as a nonionic surfactant, dispersant, wetting agent, and emulsifier. With specific features beneficial for agrochemical applications, such as improved wetting and low foaming, it proves versatile in various industrial processes. Additionally, Lutensol® XL 100 finds utility in electroplating processes. Its liquid form ensures convenient handling and efficient integration into processes, making it a valuable component in diverse applications.

Lutensol® XL 140 (C10-Guerbet alcohol alkoxylates) are nonionic surfactants. They are alkyl alkoxylates based on C10 Guerbet alcohol and are available with a versatile alkoxylation degree. Depending on the EO degree, the non-diluted grades are cloudy liquids or slightly yellowish pastes that become clear at 50°C. The water-diluted grades, indicated by the index XL..9, are clear liquids at room temperature. These products provide excellent wetting and solubilizing properties. Due to their less smelling character, formulations with sensitivity to odor can be prepared with such grades.

Lutensol® ON 110 (C10-oxo alcohol ethoxylates) are nonionic surfactants. They are alkyl polyethylene glycol ethers derived from a saturated synthetic short-chain fatty alcohol. Available in low and medium EO degrees, the grades with low EO degrees appear as clear or cloudy colorless liquids, while others are pastes. These products, owing to their short chains, exhibit dynamic and effective wetting behavior.

Lutensol® TO 12 (C13-oxo alcohol ethoxylates) are nonionic surfactants derived from saturated iso-C13-alcohol, offering low, medium, and high EO degrees. Grades with medium and high EO degrees are water-diluted to maintain a liquid form. Their structural composition makes them particularly suited for applications requiring effective wetting, emulsification, and soil removal capabilities.

Lutensol® AT 50 Flakes (C16-18 fatty alcohol ethoxylates) are nonionic surfactants. They are alkyl polyethylene glycol ethers derived from a linear, saturated C16-C18 fatty alcohol and are offered in a range from medium EO degree to high EO degree.

Lutensol® AO 11 (C13–15 oxo alcohol ethoxylates) are nonionic surfactants derived from C13–C15 oxo alcohol, comprising approximately 65% C13 and 33% C15, offering a low and medium EO degree. Below 7 mol EO, they appear as cloudy, colorless liquids at 23°C and tend to form sediment. When the EO degree reaches 8 mol or higher, it manifests as colorless pastes. These products exhibit classical wetting and emulsification properties.
