Description

Menfegol is a non-ionic surfactant and spermicidal agent with the CAS registry number 38193-77-0. It is valued for its potent surface-active properties and its specific biological activity, making it a critical component in specialized pharmaceutical and personal care formulations. This compound is primarily sought by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical industry for contraceptive products, as well as by R&D laboratories focusing on antimicrobial and surfactant applications.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Contraceptives: A key active ingredient in vaginal spermicidal creams, foams, gels, and films.
• Topical Antimicrobial Formulations: Used in the development of creams and ointments for its surfactant and potential biocidal properties.
• Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in pharmacological and toxicological studies.
• Personal Care Products: Employed as a surfactant and emulsifying agent in specialized cosmetic and intimate hygiene formulations.
• Industrial Surfactant: Functions as a wetting agent, dispersant, or emulsifier in niche chemical processes requiring specific non-ionic surfactant profiles.
