4-nonylphenol diethoxylate

4-Nonylphenol diethoxylate (CAS 20427-84-3), also known as Nonoxynol-2, is a short-chain ethoxylated nonylphenol surfactant.

Where is 4-nonylphenol diethoxylate used?

• Textile and leather processing: low-foaming wetting and scouring agent that improves penetration of treatment baths
• Water treatment: emulsifier and dispersant that stabilizes active ingredients and improves surface contact
• Industrial cleaning and degreasing: breaks down oily soils and emulsifies hydrophobic contaminants
• Pulp, paper and printing: supports ink dispersion and pitch control
• It functions as an emulsifier, dispersant and degreasing agent where low-foam or controlled-foam performance is required.

Commercial specifications

• Bulk supply in drums and IBC containers
• Specifications defined by HLB value, ethylene oxide content and hydroxyl number
