Nonylphenol Ethoxylate 8-Eo

Description :

Overview of Nonylphenol Ethoxylate 8-EO

Nonylphenol Ethoxylate 8-EO is a non-ionic surfactant produced by the ethoxylation of nonylphenol with an average of eight ethylene oxide units. It is widely used in industrial and institutional applications due to its excellent emulsifying, wetting, detergency, and dispersing properties. This grade offers a balanced hydrophilic–lipophilic profile, making it effective in both aqueous and oily systems.

It is typically supplied as a clear to slightly hazy liquid with good solubility in water and organic solvents. Nonylphenol Ethoxylate 8-EO is valued for its strong cleaning efficiency, stability over a wide temperature range, and compatibility with other surfactants. It is often blended with anionic or other non-ionic surfactants to enhance formulation performance in demanding industrial processes.

Application of Nonylphenol Ethoxylate 8-EO

Industrial Cleaning and Detergents

Nonylphenol Ethoxylate 8-EO is extensively used in industrial cleaners, degreasers, and heavy-duty detergent formulations. It effectively removes oils, greases, and particulate soils from metal surfaces, machinery, and industrial equipment.

Textile Processing

In textile wet processing, it functions as a wetting agent, scouring agent, and emulsifier. It helps in uniform wetting, removal of oils and waxes, and improved dye penetration during processing.

Agrochemical Formulations

It is used as an emulsifier and dispersing agent in pesticide, herbicide, and insecticide formulations, ensuring uniform dispersion and enhanced effectiveness of active ingredients.

Paints, Coatings, and Emulsions

Nonylphenol Ethoxylate 8-EO is applied in emulsion polymerisation, paints, and coatings as an emulsifier and stabiliser, improving consistency and performance.

Oilfield and Industrial Applications

It is used in oilfield chemicals, metalworking fluids, and industrial emulsions where strong wetting and emulsification are required under harsh conditions.
