The Lutensol® AO grades are oxo alcohol ethoxylates that are based on predominately linear alcohols. Depending on their degree of ethoxylation, some of the products in the range can be used as the principal surfactants in laundry detergents in powder form. They give good results at all temperatures, and they perform especially well on cotton fabrics and blends of cotton and synthetic fibers. We would particularly recommend the Lutensol® AO grades with a medium degree of ethoxylation, such as Lutensol® AO 7, for use in liquid detergents and cleaners.
