Description

Triton CAS NO 58229-81-5 is a high-performance, nonionic surfactant belonging to the polyoxyethylene tertiary amine family. This versatile compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting properties, making it a critical additive in numerous industrial formulations. It is essential for manufacturers in sectors such as agrochemicals, coatings, textiles, and industrial cleaning who require reliable and effective surface-active agents.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and dispersant in pesticide concentrates and adjuvant systems to enhance spray coverage and efficacy.
• Coatings and Paints: Used as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to improve color development, stability, and application properties.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a leveling agent, dye dispersant, and scouring aid to ensure uniform dye uptake and fabric treatment.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Functions as a powerful wetting agent and emulsifier in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and production chemicals as an emulsifier and viscosity modifier.
• Polymerization: Utilized as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization processes for synthetic rubber and plastic production.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Aids in de-inking processes and acts as a dispersant for fillers and coatings.

Quality Control

Our Triton products are manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency in key parameters such as ethylene oxide content, hydroxyl value, cloud point, and pH. While we offer various grades, including technical and more refined versions, a Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment to guarantee specification compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (typically 15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive).
