Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate
- Also known as:
- Ethoxylated fatty alcohol · Ethoxylated lauryl alcohol · AEO
Nonionic surfactant with excellent wetting and degreasing power and low sensitivity to hard water. It is the base of industrial degreasers and liquid detergents aimed at greasy soils. Its nonionic character makes it easy to combine with anionic and cationic surfactants in the same formula.

Nonionic surfactant derived from glucose and fatty alcohols, with a good biodegradability profile. It provides wetting and detergency with low harshness and is stable in strongly alkaline media. Used in cleaners with an eco-friendly positioning, alkaline degreasers, and personal care formulas.
Benzalkonium Chloride
Benzalkonium Chloride
Quaternary ammonium compound widely used as an active ingredient in disinfectant and sanitizing formulations for surfaces. It also provides cationic surfactant properties and an antistatic effect in the formula. Its use in disinfection is carried out in accordance with applicable health regulations.
Caustic Potash
Potassium Hydroxide
Highly soluble alkali used in the manufacture of liquid and potassium soaps, degreasers, and industrial cleaners. It produces soaps that are more soluble and faster to saponify than those made with caustic soda. Also used for pH adjustment in concentrated liquid formulas.
Caustic Soda
Sodium Hydroxide
Fundamental alkali of the cleaning industry: it saponifies fats, neutralizes sulfonic acids, and adjusts the pH of all kinds of formulas. It is the base of heavy-duty degreasers, drain openers, and CIP cleaners in the food industry. A high-turnover raw material in soap and detergent manufacturing.
