Description

4-Dodecylphenol Mixture Of Isomers is a high-purity alkylphenol derivative, a critical intermediate in the synthesis of specialized surfactants and polymer additives. Its value lies in its long hydrophobic dodecyl chain, which imparts excellent surface-active and compatibilizing properties to final formulations. This product is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, lubricant, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Primary intermediate for the synthesis of nonionic surfactants (e.g., ethoxylates) used in industrial and institutional cleaners.
• Key raw material in the production of phenolic antioxidants and stabilizers for polymers and lubricating oils.
• Building block for oil-soluble resins and tackifiers in adhesive formulations.
• Used in the manufacture of specialty additives for fuel and lubricant packages.
• Intermediate for UV stabilizers and other performance chemicals in the plastics industry.
• Potential use in the synthesis of demulsifiers for the oil and gas sector.
