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 across industrial formulations.

It is distinct from monononylphenol ethoxylates and is selected specifically where the branched dinonyl structure offers enhanced stability and lower foam profiles during chemical processing.

In textile processing, it functions as a scouring and wetting agent, helping to remove oils, waxes, and sizing agents from fiber surfaces before dyeing or finishing procedures begin.

Leather manufacturers use it in degreasing baths to penetrate hides uniformly, improving the uptake of tanning agents. Industrial and institutional cleaning formulators incorporate it into hard-surface degreasers.

It is highly effective in alkaline cleaners where robust emulsification of mineral oils and greases is required. In agrochemical formulations, it acts as an emulsifier and dispersant in concentrates.

This ensures stable droplet distribution during field application. Polyoxyethylene dinonylphenyl ether is supplied as a liquid or viscous paste, depending on the specific degree of ethoxylation required.

The Technical grade is the standard commercial offering, with ethoxylation levels typically ranging across variants to suit different HLB requirements for various industrial applications.

Drum and IBC packaging are the common supply formats for industrial buyers. This chemical remains a staple for manufacturers requiring high-performance nonionic surfactants in bulk quantities.
