Description

Nonoxynol-10 Carboxylic Acid is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant intermediate derived from ethoxylated nonylphenol. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, making it a versatile building block for advanced formulations. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the personal care, industrial cleaning, textile processing, and agrochemical industries seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Primary Intermediate for synthesizing anionic surfactants like ether carboxylates.
• Personal Care Formulations: Used in the production of mild cleansers, shampoos, and liquid soaps.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key component in heavy-duty degreasers and detergent blends.
• Textile Auxiliaries: Serves as an emulsifier and scouring agent in fiber processing.
• Agrochemical Adjuvants: Enhances the spreading and adhesion of pesticides and herbicides.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Functions as a stabilizer in the production of acrylic and vinyl acetate polymers.
• Metal Working Fluids: Provides emulsification and corrosion inhibition in coolants and lubricants.
