Description

Octylphenol CAS NO 67554-50-1 is a versatile alkylphenol compound widely used as a key chemical intermediate in industrial synthesis. Its primary value lies in its phenolic hydroxyl group and hydrophobic alkyl chain, making it an essential building block for surfactants, resins, and polymer additives. This product is critical for manufacturers in the chemical, plastics, and specialty materials sectors seeking reliable, high-purity raw materials for their production processes.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: A crucial precursor for the synthesis of nonionic surfactants (e.g., octylphenol ethoxylates) used in industrial cleaners, emulsifiers, and wetting agents.
• Polymer & Resin Production: Serves as a monomer or modifier in the manufacture of phenolic resins, epoxy resins, and polycarbonates, enhancing material properties.
• Chemical Intermediate: Used in organic synthesis for agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other specialty chemicals where its alkylphenol structure is required.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive: Acts as an antioxidant and stabilizer additive in lubricating oils and industrial fuels.
• Adhesive & Coating Formulations: Incorporated into adhesive and coating systems to improve flexibility, adhesion, and chemical resistance.
• Rubber & Elastomer Industry: Functions as a plasticizer or processing aid in the production of synthetic rubbers and elastomeric materials.

Quality Control

Our Octylphenol is produced under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We adhere to relevant industry standards, and our quality control includes comprehensive analytical testing. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) when in opened containers for extended periods to maintain product integrity. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
