Description

Octoxynol-10 is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the alkylphenol ethoxylate family, widely recognized for its excellent wetting, emulsifying, and detergent properties. Its balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic nature makes it a versatile and effective component in formulations requiring solubilization and surface tension reduction. This product is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, personal care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable performance and formulation stability.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a solubilizer, emulsifier, and wetting agent in topical creams, ointments, and vaginal contraceptives.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a surfactant and emulsifier in shampoos, liquid soaps, and cosmetic preparations.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Serves as a key detergent and wetting agent in hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and textile processing aids.
• Agrochemicals: Employed as an adjuvant in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and penetration on plant surfaces.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a dispersing agent and emulsifier in latex paints and other water-based coating systems.
• Laboratory & Research: Used in biochemical applications, including cell lysis buffers and as a component in some diagnostic reagents.
