ALCOHOL ETHOXYLATE
Metatags: Imbentin, Empilan, Leunapon, Genapol, Greenbentin
Alcohol ethoxylates (FAEs) are the products of choice for the replacement of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEs). The performance properties of these non-ionic surfactants can be adjusted by the alcohol selection and by the length of the hydrophilic polyethylene glycol chain. In comparison to NPEs, alcohol ethoxylates are usually more biodegradable and their degradation products are unobjectionable in terms of their aquatic toxicity.
