Description

Octoxynol-7 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 ingredient in formulations requiring stable emulsions and thorough cleaning. This product is essential for manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and agrochemical sectors seeking reliable performance and formulation flexibility.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Used as an emulsifier, solubilizer, and cleansing agent in creams, lotions, shampoos, and other rinse-off products.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners due to its strong detergency.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as an effective emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve spray coverage and stability.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a wetting and scouring agent in fabric preparation and dyeing processes to ensure uniform treatment.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a dispersing and emulsifying aid in water-based latex paints and coatings.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in formulations for demulsification and as a component in drilling and production chemicals.
