Overview of 4-Tert-Octylphenol

4-Tert-Octylphenol is an alkylphenol compound widely used as an important intermediate in the manufacture of surfactants, resins, polymers, and speciality industrial chemicals. It appears as a white to pale yellow solid and is known for its hydrophobic phenolic structure, which provides excellent chemical stability and performance in industrial formulations.

In industrial applications, 4-Tert-Octylphenol is primarily used to produce non-ionic surfactants such as ethoxylates, which are extensively applied in detergents, emulsifiers, agrochemical formulations, and industrial cleaners. Its phenolic nature also makes it suitable for resin synthesis, antioxidants, and stabilisers used in rubber, plastics, and coating systems.
