Description

Alkylphenol Polyglycol Ether CAS NO 9007-37-8 is a versatile class of nonionic surfactants derived from the ethoxylation of alkylphenols. These compounds are valued for their excellent wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties across a wide range of industrial processes. They are essential raw materials for formulators in the agrochemical, textile, paint, and cleaning product industries, where consistent performance and reliable supply are critical.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in pesticide and herbicide concentrates and emulsions.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for its robust detergency and grease-cutting power.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring agent, dye leveler, and wetting agent in various stages of textile manufacturing.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to ensure stable colorant suspensions and uniform application.
• Metalworking Fluids: Employed as an emulsifier and lubricity agent in soluble oils and synthetic coolants.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Used in de-inking processes and as a dispersant to improve paper quality and production efficiency.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Applied in drilling muds and production chemicals for emulsification and demulsification purposes.

Quality Control

Our Alkylphenol Polyglycol Ether is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested against key parameters to ensure it meets precise specifications for consistent performance in your applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, hydroxyl value, cloud point, and moisture content are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

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