MOA-7 (AEO-7) is a C12-14 fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene (7) ether nonionic surfactant, renowned for its four core features: excellent emulsifying power, superior wetting and penetration efficiency, high detergency, and outstanding chemical stability.
Detailed Description
MOA-7 (AEO-7) is a classic nonionic surfactant product launched by Haian Guoli Chemical Co., Ltd. It appears as a colorless to slightly yellow transparent liquid or white paste. Its molecular structure is formed by the polymerization of C12-14 fatty alcohols with 7 ethylene oxide (EO) units, giving it unique hydrophilic-lipophilic balance characteristics, enabling stable and efficient surface activity in various complex industrial and household formulations.
The most prominent highlight of this product is its multifunctional integration: a single product can simultaneously meet multiple process requirements such as emulsification, wetting, penetration, detergency, and dispersion. Whether in strong acidic or strong alkaline environments, MOA-7 maintains stable performance and exhibits good tolerance to calcium and magnesium ions in hard water, without losing efficacy due to water quality issues, which is particularly critical in industrial cleaning and textile processing.
Additionally, MOA-7 has good biodegradability and is a low-toxicity substance. However, during operation, attention should still be paid to its irritation to skin and eyes, and appropriate protective equipment is recommended. With its comprehensive performance, excellent compatibility, and wide application range, MOA-7 has become a key raw material choice in many fields such as industrial and household cleaning, textile dyeing and printing, leather processing, and pesticide formulations.

Application Suggestions
MOA-7 has an extremely wide range of applications. Based on its performance characteristics, the following key application directions are recommended:
- Industrial and Household Cleaning: Can be used as the core active component in laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and hard surface cleaners, with particularly outstanding oil removal performance.
- Textile Dyeing and Printing: Used as a leveling agent, penetrating agent, and deoiling agent to ensure uniform dyeing, prevent color spots, and enhance dye uptake.
- Leather Degreasing: Effectively removes natural fats from raw hides, providing a clean fiber environment for subsequent tanning processes.
- Metal Surface Treatment: Formulates metal hard surface cleaners for strong removal of processing oils and polishing pastes.
- Pesticide Formulations: Acts as a pesticide emulsifier to enhance the dispersion and stability of technical materials in water, improving efficacy.
- Emulsion Polymerization: Serves as an emulsifier in polymer emulsion polymerization processes to ensure smooth reaction progress.
- Personal Care Products: Used as an emulsifier and solubilizer in creams and lotions.
Precautions
- MOA-7 is a nonionic surfactant with excellent compatibility when compounded with nonionic, anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants.
- Avoid direct contact with skin and eyes during operation; it is recommended to wear chemical safety goggles and protective gloves.
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, keep containers tightly sealed, and keep away from heat sources and open flames.
- Avoid mixed storage with strong oxidizers, strong acids, strong alkalis, and food ingredients.
- In case of eye contact, immediately flush with plenty of running water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical attention.
- For more detailed safety information, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
