Description

Poe (10) Dodecyl Phenol is a nonionic surfactant belonging to the alkylphenol ethoxylate family, synthesized from dodecyl phenol and ethylene oxide. This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties in a wide range of industrial formulations. It is a critical component for manufacturers in the agrochemical, textile, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking reliable performance and supply chain stability.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key emulsifier and wetting agent in the production of pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Used in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and hard surface cleaners for its superior detergency.
• Textile Processing: Serves as a scouring, dyeing, and finishing agent to improve fiber wetting and chemical penetration.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Employed in drilling muds and demulsifiers for crude oil processing due to its surface-active properties.
• Paints & Coatings: Functions as a pigment dispersant and stabilizer in water-based and solvent-based systems.
• Leather Processing: Used in tanning and fat-liquoring operations to enhance the penetration of chemicals and oils.
• Paper & Pulp Industry: Applied as a de-inking agent and dispersant in pulp processing.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as a surfactant in the production of synthetic latexes for adhesives and coatings.
