Description

44-(Nonylphenoxy)-3,6,9,12,15,18,21,24,27,30,33,36,39,42-Tetradecaoxatetratetracontanol CAS NO 57321-10-5 is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant belonging to the class of polyethoxylated alkylphenols. This compound is valued for its exceptional surface-active properties, acting as a powerful emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant in complex formulations. It is a critical raw material for industrial manufacturers in sectors such as agrochemicals, coatings, and specialty cleaning, where performance and formulation stability are paramount.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Primary use as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates to improve spray coverage and efficacy.
• Industrial Coatings & Inks: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid, enhancing color development and stability in paint and ink systems.
• Metalworking Fluids: Serves as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in synthetic and semi-synthetic cutting and grinding fluids.
• Textile Processing: Used as a scouring, leveling, and dyeing assistant to improve process uniformity and fabric quality.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Acts as a key surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers and hard surface cleaners for commercial applications.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals as an emulsifier and viscosity modifier.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Aids in the dispersion of fillers and improves the wetting properties of adhesive formulations.
• Polymerization: Can be used as an emulsifier or stabilizer in certain emulsion polymerization processes.
