Tristyrylphenol ethoxylates

Tristyrylphenol ethoxylates (CAS 99734-09-5), also known as ethoxylated polyarylphenol or polyethylene glycol mono(tristyrylphenyl)ether, are nonionic surfactants built around a bulky tristyrylphenol hydrophobe.

Where is Tristyrylphenol ethoxylates used?

• Agrochemical formulations: emulsifiers and dispersants in emulsifiable concentrates, suspension concentrates and wettable powders
• Textile processing: wetting and scouring agents, fiber preparation, dyeing auxiliaries and finishing baths
• Industrial and institutional cleaning: hard surface cleaners and degreasers
• Leather processing: fat liquoring and degreasing with emulsification of hydrophobic materials
• They provide soil emulsification under varied water conditions.

Commercial specifications

• HLB and ethoxylation degree determine grade selection
• EO chain length variants tune hydrophilicity
• Bulk supply in drums and IBC containers
