9H-LF: Advanced Alcohol Ether Carboxylic Acid (AEC)

Seeking a Stable, High-Quality Alternative for Your Premium Formulations?

In the global surfactant market, Akypo (Kao) and Marlowet (Sasol) have long been the benchmarks for Alkyl Ether Carboxylic Acids (AEC). However, supply chain fluctuations and high costs often challenge manufacturers.

Ruqinba 9H-LF is an advanced, high-purity AEC synthesized through proprietary technology. It offers identical chemical properties and performance to industry-leading brands, providing formulators with a reliable, cost-effective, and high-performance "advanced material" for both personal care and industrial applications.

Why Technical Experts and Procurement Heads Choose 9H-LF

Unique Dual Properties (Non-ionic & Anionic)

9H-LF contains both polyoxyethylene ether and carboxyl groups. This "crypto-anionic" structure allows it to provide the superior mildness of non-ionic surfactants while maintaining the powerful detergency of anionics.

Outstanding Calcium Soap Dispersion & Hard Water Resistance

One of the most significant pain points in cleansing products is performance degradation in hard water. 9H-LF exhibits elite-level calcium soap dispersion, ensuring your formulation remains transparent and effective regardless of water mineral content.

Exceptional Electrolyte and Alkali Stability

Unlike traditional surfactants, 9H-LF remains fully active in high-electrolyte environments and strong alkaline systems. It enhances the alkali resistance of the entire formulation, preventing phase separation or cloudiness.

Technical Specifications

Core Applications

1. Metalworking Fluids (MWF):

Serves as a primary emulsifier and hard water resistance agent for water-based machining fluids. It reduces maintenance costs by extending the service life of processing fluids and protects tools during high-speed, high-pressure operations.

2. Oil & Gas (EOR):

Acts as a high-temperature and high-electrolyte-resistant emulsifier and viscosity reducer for tertiary oil recovery. It aids in improving crude oil recovery rates and preventing wax deposition during transportation.

3. Paper & Leather Processing:

Utilized in deinking formulations for recycled paper and as a high-efficiency degreasing agent in leather tanning and softening processes.

Addressing the specific needs of Shampoo, Body Wash, and Cleanser Manufacturers.

4. Premium Personal Wash (Mild & Low Irritation)
   In facial cleansers and body washes, 9H-LF acts as a co-surfactant to reduce the irritation of primary surfactants like SLS/SLES. It provides a creamy, stable foam and leaves a soft, non-drying "after-feel" on the skin.

• Market Trend: Ideal for "Sulfate-Free" and "Sensitive Skin" product lines.

5. Professional Hair Care (Conditioning & Compatibility)
   9H-LF improves the deposition of silicone oils and active ingredients on hair fibers. It helps in reducing static and improving manageability without causing heavy build-up.

6. High-End Household & Industrial Cleaning
   For "Gel-type" toilet cleaners and heavy-duty degreasers, 9H-LF provides the rheological stability needed for vertical surface cling, even in the presence of strong acids or alkalis.
