Nonylphenol Ethoxylates
HI&I
Nonylphenol Ethoxylates are a class of nonionic surfactants produced by reacting nonylphenol with varying amounts of ethylene oxide, typically appearing as clear to slightly hazy, viscous liquids or waxy solids depending on the degree of ethoxylation. In HI&I cleaning, Nonylphenol Ethoxylates are widely used in degreasers, hard surface cleaners, detergents, and disinfectants due to their strong cleaning performance and ability to solubilize oils and greases.
Oil and Gas
Nonylphenol Ethoxylates are a class of nonionic surfactants formed by reacting nonylphenol with ethylene oxide, typically resulting in viscous liquids ranging from pale yellow to amber depending on the degree of ethoxylation. They are soluble in water and organic solvents and offer excellent emulsifying, wetting, dispersing, and detergency properties. In the oil and gas industry, Nonylphenol Ethoxylates are used in drilling fluids, enhanced oil recovery, corrosion inhibitor formulations, and emulsifier packages due to their ability to stabilize oil-water mixtures, disperse solids, and reduce interfacial tension.
Personal Care
Nonylphenol Ethoxylates are a class of nonionic surfactants. In personal care products, Nonylphenol Ethoxylates primarily function as emulsifiers, detergents, dispersants, and solubilizers. Nonylphenol Ethoxylates are found in shampoos, conditioners, body washes, facial cleansers, cosmetic creams, lotions, and hair dyes.
