Surfactant intermediates: Alcohols and linear alpha olefins (LAO)

Our hydrophobes are key intermediates for surfactant manufacturers as they synthesize derivatives used in many applications.

As a global independent producer, we are strategically committed to the surfactants sector with an integrated product offering through our Elevexx™ linear alpha olefins, our Exxal™ branched alcohols and Exxal 1315 LE, our linear efficient alcohol with the benefits of slight branching.

Performance advantages for Exxal-based surfactants

The structure of each of our alcohols offer performance advantages such as:

Integrated product portfolio

  • Our high-purity Exxal alcohols exhibit reactivity typical of higher primary alcohols. Thanks to their branched structure, they offer many performance advantages
