Products in Exploration & Upstream: Surfactant (Nonionic)

Lansurf AEP63 is a biodegradable nonionic surfactant produced through the reaction of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide on a synthetic primary fatty alcohol. It is compatible with soaps, anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants, providing wetting, detergency, and low foam. It is suitable for cleaning applications where low foaming is necessary, such as machine dishwash, metal cleaning, and bottle rinse formulations. It also finds use in textiles, oils, lubricants, agrochemicals, paints, and polymers.

Lansurf AEP66 is a biodegradable nonionic surfactant produced through the reaction of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide on a synthetic primary fatty alcohol. It shares compatibility with soaps, anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants, offering wetting, detergency, and low foam. Similar to AEP63, it is employed in cleaning applications where low foaming is essential, such as machine dishwash, metal cleaning, and bottle rinse formulations. It is also used in textiles, oils, lubricants, agrochemicals, paints, and polymers.

Alpha Olefin Sulfonate Synsul™ AOS is an aqueous solution of sodium olefin sulfonates with a molecular weight of approximately 325. This non-ionic surfactant is highly effective as the foaming agent in many different personal care applications as well as fracturing fluids for subterranean formations. It also has utility as a foaming agent in enhanced oil recovery and is an efficient component for the clean-up of gas producing wells. Synsul™ AOS exhibits excellent heat stability and is compatible with a wide variety of other additives. It is especially suited for use in freshwater systems and is readily biodegradable.

ROKAmid KAD/2A is a non-ionic surfactant with the INCI name ‘Cocamide DEA’. It is based on natural vegetable oils. It has a form of a clear or slightly turbid light-yellow to yellow liquid. ROKAmid KAD/2A is one of the most common co-surfactants, which has a range of very interesting application properties. Most of all, it is used as a rheology modifier, that is a thickener which improves consistence by creating so-called mixed micelles. Among other KAD series ROKAmides, it shows improved thickening properties compared to the ROKAmid KAD or KAD/1A. When mixed with anionic surfactants, it increases and stabilizes the quality of foam. ROKAmid KAD/2A is very effective even at a low concentration.
