Description

Potassium Octoxynol-12 Phosphate is an anionic surfactant derived from ethoxylated phenol, valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties. Its primary commercial significance lies in its ability to function effectively in aqueous systems while offering compatibility and stability across a wide pH range. This makes it a critical component for formulators in the personal care, industrial cleaning, and agrochemical industries seeking high-performance, phosphate-based surfactants.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and solubilizer in creams, lotions, and hair care products, particularly in systems requiring mildness and clarity.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, alkaline cleaners, and metalworking fluids for its superior wetting and soil emulsification.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Serves as a key component in pesticide and herbicide emulsions, enhancing spray coverage and active ingredient penetration.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a wetting agent and detergent in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths to improve process efficiency.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a dispersing agent for pigments and fillers in water-based formulations, improving stability and color development.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Utilized in drilling muds and production chemicals as an emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Octoxynol-12 Phosphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency in active content, pH, and performance characteristics. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your formulation requirements.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture which may affect product quality.
