Description

Octoxynol-11 is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the alkylphenol ethoxylate family, widely recognized for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties. Its balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic character makes it a versatile and effective component in formulations requiring stable emulsions and thorough cleaning. This chemical is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and agrochemical sectors seeking reliable performance and formulation stability.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as an emulsifier, surfactant, and solubilizer in creams, lotions, shampoos, and other rinse-off products.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Acts as a key wetting agent and detergent in heavy-duty cleaners, degreasers, and textile processing aids.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve sprayability and efficacy.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and emulsion stabilizer in water-based paint systems.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring and wetting agent to prepare fibers for dyeing and finishing.
• Metalworking Fluids: Used in emulsifiable oils and coolants for its emulsification and cleaning properties.
