Tri Styrenated Phenol Ethoxylate
Industrial Applications
Tri-Styrenated Phenol Ethoxylate is a nonionic surfactant widely used as an emulsifier, dispersant, and wetting agent in a variety of industrial applications. It is commonly incorporated into lubricants and metalworking fluids, where it supports stable emulsions and improved performance. In paints, coatings, and polymer emulsions, the compound enhances dispersion, wetting, and formulation stability. Tri-Styrenated Phenol Ethoxylate also functions as a stabilizer and solubilizer for hydrophobic ingredients, enabling uniform incorporation of nonpolar components into complex chemical formulations. Its nonionic character provides good compatibility with other formulation ingredients and reliable performance under diverse processing conditions.
Physical Properties
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.
