Description

Nonylphenol Ethoxylate is a versatile nonionic surfactant belonging to the alkylphenol ethoxylate family, widely recognized for its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and dispersing properties. Its primary commercial value lies in its effectiveness as a cost-efficient surface-active agent across numerous industrial processes. This product is essential for manufacturers in sectors such as agrochemicals, textiles, paints, and industrial cleaning, where reliable performance and formulation stability are critical.

Application

• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Key component in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care formulations.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide and herbicide concentrates.
• Textile Processing: Used in scouring, dyeing, and finishing baths to improve wetting and leveling.
• Paints & Coatings: Serves as a pigment dispersant and grinding aid to enhance color development and stability.
• Pulp & Paper Industry: Employed in de-inking processes and as a dispersant for pitch control.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Functions as an emulsifier in drilling muds and other production chemicals.
• Leather Processing: Used in degreasing and tanning operations.
• Emulsion Polymerization: Acts as a surfactant in the production of various polymer emulsions like acrylics and styrene-butadiene.

Quality Control

Our Nonylphenol Ethoxylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified through parameters including hydroxyl value, cloud point, pH, and water content. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing the specific grade's specifications is 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 ambient temperatures (typically 15-25°C). Avoid contact with strong oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, keep under an inert atmosphere to prevent oxidation and moisture absorption.
