Description

Tetradecyl-Phenol is a high-purity alkylphenol derivative, valued for its role as a versatile chemical intermediate and surfactant precursor. Its long hydrophobic alkyl chain imparts unique solubility and surface-active properties, making it a critical building block for formulators. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, lubricant, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance product performance and stability.

Application

• Surfactant & Detergent Intermediate: A key raw material for the synthesis of nonionic surfactants (e.g., ethoxylates) used in industrial and institutional cleaning formulations.
• Polymer Additive: Acts as a stabilizer, antioxidant, or chain-transfer agent in the production of plastics, resins, and synthetic rubbers.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additive: Employed in the manufacture of additives that improve the anti-wear, detergent, and dispersant properties of engine oils and industrial lubricants.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a crucial intermediate in organic synthesis for agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and other specialty chemicals.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Used in formulations for demulsifiers and other production chemicals in the petroleum industry.
