Description

Triton N-57 is a high-performance, nonionic surfactant belonging to the alkylphenol ethoxylate class, identified by CAS NO 52623-95-7. It is valued for its exceptional wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties in demanding industrial formulations. This versatile chemical is essential for manufacturers in sectors requiring robust surface activity and compatibility with a wide range of ingredients, from industrial cleaners to agrochemicals and textile processing aids.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: A key component in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care formulations for its superior wetting and soil emulsification.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used as an emulsifier and spreader in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to enhance coverage and efficacy on plant surfaces.
• Textile Processing: Employed in scouring, dyeing, and finishing operations as a detergent and leveling agent for fibers and fabrics.
• Paints & Coatings: Acts as a dispersant and stabilizer in latex paints and pigment slurries to prevent settling and ensure uniform application.
• Metalworking Fluids: Functions as an emulsifier in soluble oils and synthetic coolants, providing lubrication and rust prevention.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Utilized in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pitch control to improve paper quality.
