Description

20-(Nonylphenoxy)-3,6,9,12,15,18-Hexaoxaicosan-1-Ol is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the class of polyoxyethylene alkylphenol ethers. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in complex formulations. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the agrochemical, coatings, and industrial cleaning sectors who require reliable performance and consistent quality in their production processes.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates (ECs, SCs), enhancing stability and spray coverage.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and textile processing aids for its superior wetting and soil removal.
• Coatings & Inks: Serves as a pigment dispersant and flow control agent in water-based and solvent-based systems to prevent settling and improve finish.
• Polymerization: Functions as an emulsifier and stabilizer in emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubbers and plastics.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals as an emulsifier and viscosity modifier.
• Leather & Textile Processing: Used in dyeing and finishing baths to improve leveling and penetration of chemicals.
