Nonylphenol Ethoxylate-10 EO

Product introduction:

Nonylphenol Ethoxylate-10 EO (NPE-10) is a nonionic surfactant produced by the reaction of nonylphenol with 10 moles of ethylene oxide. It is supplied as a clear, colorless to slightly hazy liquid and is widely used in various industries due to its excellent emulsifying, wetting, and cleansing properties.

Features & Benefits:

  • Nonionic surfactant
  • Emulsifier
  • High stability over a wide pH range
  • Moderate and stable foaming performance
  • Wetting and cleansing agent
  • HLB-adjusting aid
  • Compatible with various surfactants

Applications:

  • Detergent Industry: Used as a cleansing agent, wetting agent, dispersing agent, and emulsifier in the formulation of various household and industrial cleaning products.
  • Textile & Dyeing Industry: Used as a detergent for removing oils and contaminants from fibers prior to dyeing or printing processes. It also acts as a wetting and dispersing agent, enhancing penetration and uniform distribution of dyes and processing chemicals within fibers.
  • Paint & Resin Industry: Used as a pigment-dispersing agent to improve color stability and prevent particle agglomeration. It is also used as an emulsifier and dispersing agent in the production of latexes and acrylic resins.
  • Agriculture: Used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in pesticide, herbicide, insecticide, agrochemical, and liquid fertilizer formulations. It helps improve the spreading and uniform coverage of active ingredients on plant surfaces.
  • Metalworking, Electrolysis & Electroplating: Used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in metalworking fluids, electroplating solutions, and industrial cleaners. It improves cleaning efficiency, material distribution, and coating quality by reducing surface tension and minimizing bubble formation on metal surfaces.
  • Oil & Gas Industry: Used as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and cleansing agent in certain oil and gas formulations, helping improve the stability of emulsion systems.
