Description

(Isononylphenoxy)Propanol CAS NO 99094-82-3 is a nonionic surfactant and chemical intermediate belonging to the alkylphenol ethoxylate family. This compound is valued for its excellent surface-active properties, including wetting, emulsification, and dispersion, making it a versatile component in industrial formulations. It is primarily used by manufacturers in the production of agrochemicals, coatings, lubricant additives, and industrial cleaning systems.

Application

• Agrochemical Formulations: Acts as a key wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to enhance spray coverage and efficacy.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Serves as a surfactant in heavy-duty degreasers, metal cleaners, and floor care products for superior oil and grease removal.
• Coatings & Inks: Used as a dispersing and grinding aid for pigments in solvent-based paints, varnishes, and printing inks to improve color development and stability.
• Lubricant & Fuel Additives: Functions as a detergent and dispersant additive in engine oils and industrial lubricants to control deposits and sludge.
• Textile Processing: Employed as a scouring, leveling, or dyeing assistant in textile manufacturing processes.
• Chemical Synthesis: Utilized as a crucial intermediate for the production of other specialty surfactants and functional chemicals.
