Product Name: Octyl Phenol Ethoxylates (10 to 20 Moles)
Category: Non-Ionic Surfactants / Specialty Chemicals
HS Code: 340242
Product Summary:
Octyl Phenol Ethoxylates (OPE) are non-ionic surfactants produced by the ethoxylation of octylphenol (C8H17C6H4OH). The ethoxylation process results in products with 10 to 20 ethylene oxide (EO) units, offering a balanced combination of lipophilic and hydrophilic properties. These surfactants are widely used for their emulsifying, dispersing, and wetting capabilities, making them suitable for a variety of industrial and consumer applications.
Used in industrial and household cleaners, agrochemical formulations, emulsifiers for paints and coatings, textile auxiliaries, and oilfield chemicals.
Octyl Phenol Ethoxylates are synthesized by reacting octylphenol (a branched-chain phenolic compound) with ethylene oxide (EO) under controlled conditions. The number of ethylene oxide units added (ranging from 10 to 20 moles) significantly impacts the surfactant's hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB). These surfactants offer a good balance of both water and oil solubility, making them highly versatile.
The lower mole grades (10–15 moles) are typically more lipophilic and suitable for use in oil-based systems, such as water-in-oil emulsions or oilfield chemicals. Higher mole grades (15–20 moles) are more hydrophilic, making them ideal for water-based systems, including detergents, agrochemical emulsions, and industrial cleaning formulations.
