What is beta-Naphthoxyethanol?
Beta-Naphthoxyethanol (CAS 35545-57-4) is a naphthol-derived ethoxylate used as a surface-active building block and functional additive in specialty chemical formulations.
Where is beta-Naphthoxyethanol used?
- Textile processing: dye leveling and fiber wetting for uniform dye uptake on synthetic and blended fabrics
- Coatings and inks: surface tension modification and pigment dispersion
- Adhesives and sealants: rheology modifier controlling flow and substrate wetting
- Leather and paper treatment: consistent surface penetration and finish uniformity
- It acts as an emulsifier, wetting agent and dispersion aid where controlled interfacial activity is required.
Commercial specifications
- Liquid or low-viscosity melt, depending on ethoxylation degree and purity specification
- Purity levels specified by the supplier for batch consistency
- Drums and intermediate bulk containers for industrial procurement volumes
