Note that the first two categories on this slide, this specialty alcohol alkoxylates and secondary alcohol ethoxylates are not based on APE and are known as our APE alternative.
When finding your way from APEs and selecting an APE or alkylphenol ethoxylate alternative, many customers have moved to primary alcohol ethoxylates.
So, while our company doesn't make primary alcohol ethoxylates, we do include in our portfolio several alternative chemistries that have some advantages over primary alcohol ethoxylates.

Those include low or no odor due to low levels of unreacted alcohol, better handling, **so narrower gel ranges**, rapid dissolution times which lead to improved cycle time, and lower pour point, which means less heated storage is required.
Better formula stability in general and lower and more rapidly collapsing foam.
What you see on the right there is our APEO selection guide.
And that includes information about our APE alternatives.
