Product Technical Details

Product Overview

The Emulsifier MOA Series represents a premium range of nonionic surfactants derived from the ethoxylation of fatty alcohols. Known chemically as Fatty Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ethers, this product line is engineered to provide exceptional emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing capabilities across diverse industrial sectors. With a comprehensive spectrum of Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance (HLB) values ranging from low to high, the MOA series allows formulators to precisely tailor surface activity for specific solvent systems and application requirements.

Our manufacturing process ensures high purity and consistent molecular weight distribution, resulting in reliable performance batch after batch. This series serves as a robust alternative to conventional emulsifiers, offering enhanced stability in both acidic and alkaline environments. The product is non-toxic and non-flammable, classified as a general chemical for safe storage and transportation globally.

Technical Specifications

Each grade within the MOA series is distinctively characterized by its physical state and hydroxyl value, catering to different solubility profiles. The following table outlines the key technical parameters for the most common grades available in our inventory.

Industrial Applications

The versatility of the MOA series makes it indispensable in the textile industry. Lower HLB grades such as MOA-3 and MOA-4 are primarily utilized as water-in-oil emulsifiers for mineral oils and aliphatic solvents. They play a critical role in chemical fiber oil formulations and serve as essential raw materials for producing Alcohol Ether Sulfates (AES). In contrast, higher HLB grades like MOA-7 and MOA-9 exhibit excellent water solubility, making them ideal for wool detergents, fabric scouring agents, and degreasing applications. These grades ensure thorough cleaning without damaging delicate fibers.

In the dyeing and finishing sector, MOA-20 acts as a superior leveling agent, promoting uniform dye absorption and enhancing color fastness. The addition of this auxiliary agent not only retards dyeing for better control but also results in brighter, more vibrant finishes. Beyond textiles, the series is widely employed in cosmetic formulations, ointments, and liquid detergents due to its gentle yet effective emulsifying properties for mineral, animal, and vegetable oils. It also functions as a solubilizer for essential oils and a wetting agent in antistatic formulations.

Quality Assurance and Logistics

We maintain strict quality control protocols to ensure every drum meets international standards. Each shipment is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) verifying purity and specification compliance. The products are packaged in 200kg iron drums or 50kg plastic drums, sealed to prevent moisture absorption. For optimal longevity, store in a dry, ventilated area away from direct sunlight. The shelf life extends up to two years under recommended conditions. As a global manufacturer, we offer competitive bulk pricing and reliable supply chain solutions for large-scale industrial procurement.
