Products Description of Nonylphenol Ethoxylate CAS#9016-45-9
Nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE), chemically termed polyethylene glycol mono-4-nonylphenyl ether (with the formula C₁₅H₂₄O(C₂H₄O)ₙ), is a nonionic surfactant. Thanks to its outstanding detergency, wetting, and emulsifying capabilities, it is widely applied in industrial and household cleaning products, pesticides, paints, textiles, and cosmetics. It presents as a pale yellow to brown viscous liquid with a noticeable odor, produced through the polymerization of nonylphenol and ethylene oxide. However, despite its practical value, environmental issues—especially its aquatic toxicity and poor biodegradability—have prompted regulatory restrictions on its usage.

Product Application of Nonylphenol Ethoxylate CAS#9016-45-9
Nonylphenol Ethoxylates (NPEs) are liquid nonionic surfactants. The number of moles of Ethylene Oxide (EO) determines the different types of NPEs available.
NPEs have multiple functional roles, acting as adjuvants, cleaners, detergents, dispersants, emulsifiers, humectants, solubilizers, and wetting agents. Their applications are also broad, covering coatings, crop solutions, functional fluids, household cleaning, industrial and institutional cleaning, as well as the oil and gas sector.
