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 Household, Industrial and Institutional.
Meeting their customers’ desire to claim sustainability benefits such as biodegradability* on their end-product labeling.

Potential operational benefits

Exxal 1315 LE can help surfactant producers optimize operations by:

Reducing potential 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

How does formulation viscosity affect your manufacturing and dispensing processes?

How does product flow affect your formulation's mixing and handling processes?

How does your end product's wettability affect its performance?

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
Readily biodegradable*
All of our alcohols and their ethoxylates meet the OECD 301F* readily biodegradable threshold for isomeric mixtures
