Tri Styrenated Phenol Ethoxylate
Tri-Styrenated Phenol Ethoxylate is a nonionic surfactant derived from the ethoxylation of tri-styrenated phenol, where three styrene groups are attached to a phenol core and reacted with ethylene oxide to introduce polyether chains. It typically appears as a viscous amber to yellow liquid or semi-solid, with moderate water solubility depending on the degree of ethoxylation and a high molecular weight that imparts excellent thermal and oxidative stability. The compound has a high boiling point, low volatility, and good compatibility with both aqueous and non-aqueous systems. In industry, tri-styrenated phenol ethoxylate is used as a nonionic emulsifier, dispersant, and wetting agent in applications such as lubricants, metalworking fluids, paints, coatings, and polymer emulsions. It also serves as a stabilizer and solubilizer for hydrophobic ingredients in chemical formulations.
