Polyoxyethylene (10) isooctylcyclohexyl ether

Polyoxyethylene (10) isooctylcyclohexyl ether (CAS 92046-34-9) is a nonionic ethoxylated surfactant built on a saturated cyclohexyl backbone.

Where is Polyoxyethylene (10) isooctylcyclohexyl ether used?

• Water treatment: improves dispersion of scale inhibitors and biocides
• Textile and leather processing: wetting and scouring agent for uniform dye penetration and surface preparation
• Cleaning and degreasing: emulsifies oils and soils in aqueous and semi-aqueous systems
• Printing and packaging: supports ink dispersion and substrate wetting for print uniformity and adhesion
• It functions as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant in industrial and personal care formulations.

Good to know: This structure distinguishes it from conventional octyl phenol ethoxylate alternatives.
