Sunly Chemistry is a leading supplier of high-purity nonionic surfactants (non-ionic surface-active agents). Unlike ionic agents, our nonionic surfactants do not dissociate into ions in water, functioning in a neutral molecular state. This unique chemical structure ensures exceptional stability, versatility, and compatibility across diverse industrial formulations.
Our nonionic surfactants acquire hydrophilicity by forming hydrogen bonds with water through ether bonds (-O-), hydroxyl groups (-OH), and amide groups (-CONH₂).
Superior Stability: Highly resistant to strong electrolytes, acids, bases, and hard water.
High Compatibility: Excellent synergistic enhancement effects when combined with anionic, cationic, and amphoteric surfactants.
Precision Engineering: We precisely adjust the Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance (HLB) by modifying the number of polyoxyethylene (EO) units or the degree of polyol substitution to meet specific wetting or emulsifying requirements.
Eco-Friendly & Mild: Recognized for the lowest skin and eye irritation profile and excellent biodegradability.
We specialize in the R&D and production of five core types of nonionic surfactants:
Polyoxyethylene Ether Type: High-efficiency emulsifiers and detergents.
Fatty Acid Ester Type: Ideal for food and pharmaceutical applications.
Alkyl Glycoside (APG) Type: 100% bio-based, "green" surfactants.
Alcohol Amide Type: Superior thickening and foam stabilization.
Polyether/Silicone Modified Types: Advanced spreading and specialty wetting agents.

Non-ionic surfactants, due to their advantages such as mildness, resistance to hard water, and good compatibility, are widely used in personal care, industrial cleaning, agriculture, food, medicine and other fields. They have now become the type of surfactants with the largest production volume and the widest application range.
● Cosmetics and Personal Care: Used in baby shampoos, makeup removers, and facial cleansers. Offers mild, non-irritating properties with strong foam stability.
● Industrial Cleaning: Essential for metal degreasing, CIP cleaning, boiler maintenance, and high-pressure spray cleaning solutions.
● Leather & Textile industry: Used in tanning and fat processing to enhance leather quality, providing a smoother feel and brighter colors.
● Coal & Mining industry: Functions as a mineral flotation agent to obtain high-purity clean coal, particularly utilizing low-HLB polyol esters.
● Medical & Pharmaceutical: Applied as high-purity emulsifiers, antioxidants, and solubilizers (e.g., poly(ethylene oxide) types for intravenous solutions).
● Food industry: Food-grade Tween-80 and other esters act as stabilizers in ice cream and processed foods to enhance texture.
● Agriculture: High-efficiency penetrants that enable pesticides to spread rapidly on leaf surfaces, increasing efficacy while reducing chemical usage.

Our experts are ready to help with your surfactant requirements.
Nonionic surfactants provide much better stability in hard water and high-salt environments. They are also compatible with all other surfactant types and are significantly milder for skin-contact applications.
Yes. As a manufacturer, we can customize the degree of substitution and EO units to provide the exact HLB value required for your specific emulsion or cleaning formulation.
Most of our nonionic surfactants, especially the APG and ester series, feature excellent biodegradability and meet international environmental safety standards.
