Description

Octylphenylpolyethylene Glycol is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the alkylphenol ethoxylate family, characterized by its hydrophobic octylphenyl group and hydrophilic polyethylene glycol chain. This structure provides excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties, making it a critical performance additive in numerous industrial formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in sectors such as agrochemicals, textiles, paints & coatings, and industrial cleaning who require reliable surface activity and process stability.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates, enhancing spray coverage and active ingredient stability.
• Textile Processing: Used as a wetting agent, leveling agent, and dye dispersant in various dyeing and finishing operations.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as an effective pigment grinding aid and dispersant, improving color development and preventing settling in water-based and solvent-based systems.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Functions as a surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners, providing robust soil removal.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in coolants and cutting fluids to improve performance and tool life.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Utilized in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for coatings and fillers.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Aids in the dispersion of fillers and pigments, improving consistency and application properties.

Quality Control

Our Octylphenylpolyethylene Glycol is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent performance, including measurement of key parameters such as ethylene oxide content, hydroxyl value, cloud point, and pH. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider using under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation.
