In an era where energy efficiency and sustainability are paramount, the effectiveness of detergents at lower wash temperatures has become a critical factor. Fatty Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether (AEO-9) is emerging as a key ingredient that empowers detergents to deliver exceptional cleaning performance even in cold water. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is at the forefront of supplying this advanced non-ionic surfactant, enabling the development of next-generation, eco-friendly cleaning solutions.

The Shift to Cold Water Washing

Washing clothes at lower temperatures, such as 30°C or even 20°C, significantly reduces energy consumption, contributing to a lower carbon footprint for households. However, achieving effective stain removal and overall cleanliness at these lower temperatures requires surfactants that are highly efficient in cold environments. Traditional surfactants can sometimes struggle to dissolve properly or exhibit their full cleaning power in cold water, leading to compromised results.

AEO-9: Unmatched Low-Temperature Performance

AEO-9 distinguishes itself with its outstanding low-temperature washing performance. This means it maintains its excellent wetting, solubilizing, dispersing, and cleaning properties even when water temperatures are reduced. Its molecular structure allows it to effectively interact with soils and lift them from fabrics at lower temperatures, where many other surfactants may become less active. This characteristic makes AEO-9 an ideal component for high-efficiency (HE) detergents, which are specifically designed for water-saving and energy-saving washing machines.

Key Properties Contributing to Cold Wash Efficacy

Several properties of AEO-9 contribute to its success in cold water washing:

  • Excellent Wetting and Penetration: Ensures the detergent solution quickly penetrates fabric fibers, even in cooler water.
  • Superior Emulsifying Power: Effectively breaks down and disperses oily and greasy stains, which are often harder to tackle at low temperatures.
  • Good Solubilizing Properties: Helps to keep soils and other detergent components dissolved in the wash liquor, preventing redeposition.
  • Low Freezing Point: Contributes to its ease of handling and effectiveness in cooler environments.

Moreover, AEO-9 is known for being odorless, having extremely low unreacted alcohol content, and being environmentally friendly with good biodegradability. These attributes further align it with the demands for sustainable and safe household products.
