Polyoxyethylene dinonylphenyl ether

Polyoxyethylene dinonylphenyl ether (CAS 9014-93-1) is a nonionic surfactant built on a dinonylphenol ethoxylate backbone, delivering strong emulsification, wetting, and detergency.

Where is Polyoxyethylene dinonylphenyl ether used?

• Textile processing: scouring and wetting agent that removes oils, waxes, and sizing agents from fiber surfaces before dyeing or finishing
• Leather: degreasing baths that penetrate hides uniformly, improving uptake of tanning agents
• Industrial and institutional cleaning: hard-surface degreasers and alkaline cleaners for emulsification of mineral oils and greases
• Agrochemical formulations: emulsifier and dispersant in concentrates for stable droplet distribution during field application
• It is distinct from monononylphenol ethoxylates, selected where the branched dinonyl structure offers enhanced stability and lower foam profiles.

Good to know: Distinct from monononylphenol ethoxylates; selected where the branched dinonyl structure offers enhanced stability and lower foam profiles during chemical processing.
