Exxal™ 1315 linear efficient (LE) alcohol
Exxal 1315 LE is our latest highly-linear alcohol, offering the benefits of slight branching.
Exxal 1315 LE can help surfactant producers address challenges such as:
- Positioning their end-product portfolio strategically in highly competitive markets and applications, such as HI&I.
- Meeting their customers’ desire to claim sustainability benefits on end- product labeling.
Potential Operational benefits
Exxal 1315 LE can help surfactant producers optimize operations by:
-
Reducing risk of possible disruptions to supply chain and production
Via ExxonMobil’s integrated chemical platform back to linear alpha olefins
-
Offering opportunities to help streamline manufacturing processes
Via precise, on-spec alcohols, with quality control backed by strict, global ExxonMobil standards
-
Enabling potential efficiencies in storage, transportation and manufacturing
Via lower viscosity and pour point
Exxal 1315 LE benefits vs. linear alcohols*
Exxal 1315 LE-based surfactants offer several potential advantages when compared to those based solely on linear alcohols including:
-
Fast and efficient cleaning on a wide range of surfaces and hard to remove stains
Enhanced wetting enabled by slight branching
-
Reduced foaming
Low initial foam makes it a good solution for targeted HI&I applications
-
Eligible for environment-friendly labeling on surfactant-based products
All of our alcohols and their ethoxylates meet the OECD 301F readily biodegradable threshold for isomeric mixtures
