Octylphenol Ethoxylate (OP-10 / TX-100) – CAS 9036-19-5

Octylphenol Ethoxylate (OP-10), chemically identified as a polyoxyethylene octyl phenyl ether with an average of ten ethylene oxide units, is a water-soluble non-ionic surfactant widely utilized for its excellent detergency and wetting properties. Often designated in technical specifications as Octoxynol-10, Polyethylene glycol octylphenyl ether, or Ethoxylated octylphenol, this viscous liquid functions as a key emulsifier in emulsion polymerization, a scouring agent in textile processing, and a dispersant in industrial cleaning formulations. We offer bulk supply of this industrial-grade surfactant with competitive factory pricing, customized specifications for specific cloud point requirements, and comprehensive technical documentation including MSDS, TDS, COA.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

  • Q:

    Why do OP‑10 and TX‑100 share the same CAS number?

    A: CAS 9036‑19‑5 represents a UVCB category for octylphenol ethoxylates with varying EO numbers; OP‑10 and TX‑100 fall within this category.
  • Q:

    Are octylphenol ethoxylates restricted in some regions?

    A: Yes. Alkylphenol ethoxylates are subject to regulatory restrictions in certain regions, particularly in the EU, due to environmental concerns.
