Non-ionic surfactant (non-ionic surfactant production - ethylene oxide derivate)

Emissions generated by the activity within the product supply chain as described in ecoinvent v3.10. The product non-ionic surfactant' represent the entire substance group of non-ionic surfactants. This type accounts for 40% of global demand. Of the non-ionic surfactants the main groups are: Ethoxylated Linear Alcohols (40%) Fatty Acid Esters (20%) Ethoxylated Alkyl Phenols (15%) and Amine and Amide Derivatives (10%). The product group is represented by a mixture of an ethoxylated alcohol surfactant based on dodecanol and a fatty acid derived surfactant. It is liquid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure. It is modelled as a pure substance. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. On a consumer level is used in the following products: cosmetic products. On industrial sites the substance is used for the manufacture of products in the following sectors: pharmaceutical and food industry. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary transforming activity. The reference product amount is 1.
