4-Nonylphenol branched ethoxylated

4-Nonylphenol branched ethoxylated (CAS 127087-87-0) is a nonionic surfactant derived from branched nonylphenol reacted with ethylene oxide.

Where is 4-Nonylphenol branched ethoxylated used?

• Industrial and institutional cleaning: degreasing in hard surface cleaners, degreasers and heavy-duty detergent concentrates
• Textile and leather processing: wetting and scouring agent
• Agricultural formulations: emulsifier in crop protection products, stabilising emulsifiable and suspension concentrates
• Coatings and adhesives: dispersant and emulsification aid in resin emulsification and pigment dispersion
• It improves fiber penetration and process efficiency during preparation and dyeing.

Commercial specifications

• Viscosity and HLB value vary with degree of ethoxylation
• Standard ethoxylate grades range from low EO (around 4–6 moles) to higher EO variants (up to 30+ moles)
