Fatty Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether, commonly known as the AEO series, is a relatively new generation of nonionic surfactant developed as an eco-friendly replacement for the NP series in the detergent and textile industries. In general, the AEO series nonionic surfactants have outstanding wetting, dispersing, emulsifying, penetrating, and cleaning properties.
Fatty Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether is free of APEO and NP, easy to degrade, and complies with most environmental requirements. Among all the variants, AEO-7 and AEO-9 are the most used in the home care cleaning industry. They are low-foaming with excellent detergency, increasingly used to formulate High-efficiency(HE) detergents.
Yeser Chemicals has been partnering with leading AEO manufacturers through a Third-party Commissioned Production Agreement. We can supply top-quality Yeser® AEO-7 and AEO-9 at a competitive price, with a capacity of 1,200 MT/ Month.
Features & Benefits:
- Free of APEO and NP, eco-friendly.
- Excellent solubility and compatibility with other surfactants, resulting in great formulating flexibility.
- Outstanding wetting, dispersing, emulsifying, penetrating, and cleaning properties, also with good hard water resistant property.
- Made from natural coconut extract, with an excellent degradation rate of up to 92%.
Stability/Shelf life:
Stable. Combustible. Incompatible with potent oxidizing agents.
Sealed, stored in a cool, dry and ventilated place; Avoid direct sunlight.
Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life of Yeser® AEO-7 and AEO-9 is 24 months.
Recommended dosage:
The recommended dosage of Yeser® AEO-7 and AEO-9 in detergents is 1%-5.0%
Also known as:
- Peregal
- Lutensol
- MOA-7
- MOA-9
- Polyoxyethylene fatty ether
- Fatty alcohol ethoxylate

Frequently Asked Questions
We don’t produce Fatty Alcohol Polyoxyethylene Ether(AEO) by ourselves, yet we are not simply trading it.
We have signed Third-party Toll-manufacturing Agreement with 2 leading AEO manufacturers. Our partners contract manufacture AEO-7 and AEO-9 for us, as per our demand and requirements.
Together with our contract manufacturers, Yeser Chemicals supplies top-quality AEO-7 and AEO-9 at a competitive price, with a capacity of 10,000 MT/ Month.
No. On the opposite, AEO-7 and AEO-9 are defoaming agents in detergent formulas. A high-detergency low-foaming detergent is usually with high content of AEO-7 or AEO-9.
The AEO series was developed as an eco-friendly replacement for the NP series in the detergent and textile industries.
NP series surfactant contains Nonylphenol, which has long been reported to be an endocrine disrupter capable of interfering with the hormonal system of numerous organisms, predominantly the female reproductive system.
The NP series(NP-9 and NP-10) are banned in many countries and regions to use in detergents and personal care products.
