Description

1-(4-Nonylphenoxy)Propan-2-Ol is a non-ionic surfactant intermediate belonging to the alkylphenol ethoxylate family. This compound is valued for its role in synthesizing high-performance surfactants and emulsifiers with excellent wetting and dispersing properties. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the agrochemical, industrial cleaning, and textile processing industries for formulating stable and effective products.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Key intermediate for producing non-ionic surfactants used in pesticide and herbicide emulsifiable concentrates (ECs) and wettable powders (WPs).
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a building block for surfactants in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and industrial detergents.
• Textile Processing: Used in the synthesis of auxiliaries for scouring, dyeing, and finishing processes to improve wetting and leveling.
• Oilfield Chemicals: Intermediate for formulating demulsifiers and drilling fluid additives.
• Paints & Coatings: Building block for dispersants and emulsifiers in water-based and solvent-based systems.
• Polymerization: Can act as a chain transfer agent or surfactant in emulsion polymerization processes.
