Readily degradable non ionic surfactants are represented by our Britens APG series. AOS surfactants have been commercially available in the United States since 1965. They have been formulated into a variety of detergents such as toilet cleaners and shampoo products. AOS surfactants are often selected as replacements for linear alkylbenzene sulfonates, due to their biodegradation, foaming, detergency, and mildness properties.
AOS products identified above are linear in structure, with carbon chain lengths ranging from C12 to C18.
