Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Alcohol Ethoxylate
- AE
- Ethoxylated Fatty Alcohol
- Ethoxylated Alcohol
Fatty alcohol ethoxylate is a non-ionic surfactant family used by Malaysian formulators for wetting, detergency and emulsification. Each grade combines a fatty alcohol chain-length range with a stated degree of ethoxylation, so the page does not assign one CAS number or formula to the whole family.
Commercial selection includes lauryl or C12-14, cetyl-stearyl or C16-18, tallow, oleyl, coco, palm-derived and synthetic alcohol bases across different ethylene oxide numbers. These variables influence HLB, cloud point, physical form and foaming behaviour, while low-foam or end-capped variants can suit machine cleaning and clean-in-place formulations.
Applications include laundry and dishwashing detergents, hard-surface and industrial cleaners, textile scouring, agrochemical emulsification, metalworking fluids, emulsion polymerisation, pulp and paper processing, oilfield formulations and leather processing. Fatty alcohol ethoxylates remain distinct from nonylphenol ethoxylates, glucosides, sulphates and other surfactant families even when they serve similar formulation roles.
Send the required alcohol chain length or feedstock family, ethylene oxide number, physical form, performance criteria, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.
- Appearance
- Clear to hazy liquid, paste, waxy solid or flakes, depending on alcohol chain length and ethylene oxide number

Fatty Alcohol Ethoxylate applications
Common questions about fatty alcohol ethoxylate
How is a fatty alcohol ethoxylate grade selected?
Specify the alcohol chain length or feedstock family and the required ethylene oxide number. HLB, cloud point, physical form and foaming behaviour can then be matched to the formulation requirement.
Which fatty alcohol ethoxylate forms are available for enquiry?
Commercial grades can be liquids, pastes, waxy solids or flakes depending on chain length and ethylene oxide number. State the required physical form and active content, if applicable, in the enquiry.
Is fatty alcohol ethoxylate a non-ionic surfactant?
Yes. Fatty alcohol ethoxylates are non-ionic surfactants formed by adding ethylene oxide to a fatty alcohol, with properties changing across the chain-length and ethoxylation range.
Can fatty alcohol ethoxylate be selected for low-foam cleaning?
Low-foam and end-capped variants are used for applications such as machine washing and clean-in-place formulations. Provide the foaming, cloud point and process conditions for grade selection.
Is fatty alcohol ethoxylate the same as nonylphenol ethoxylate?
No. They are separate surfactant families with different hydrophobes. Fatty alcohol ethoxylate can be considered as an alcohol-based formulation option, but compatibility and performance should be evaluated for the intended use.
What information is needed for a fatty alcohol ethoxylate quotation?
Send the grade or chain-length range, ethylene oxide number, required specification, quantity and delivery location. Packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed with the quotation.
