Octylphenol Ethoxylate (CAS 9002-93-1), commercially available as the OP series (e.g., OP-10, OP-40), is a high-performance nonionic surfactant synthesized by the ethoxylation of octylphenol, primarily utilized as a heavy-duty emulsifier and wetting agent in textile processing, agrochemical formulations, and industrial metal cleaners. This Polyethylene glycol octylphenyl ether compound functions as a robust detergent and dispersant in Octoxynol based systems, demonstrating exceptional chemical stability in acidic and alkaline environments and superior grease-solubilizing properties compared to standard alcohol ethoxylates. To support industrial-scale requirements, we provide bulk supply with competitive factory pricing and ensure rigorous quality control through customized specifications alongside standard technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
What does the "n" value indicate in OP series surfactants like OP-10?
A: The number (e.g., 10 in OP-10) indicates the average number of moles of ethylene oxide added to the octylphenol molecule, which determines the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) and water solubility of the specific grade. -
Q:
How does Octylphenol Ethoxylate (CAS 9002-93-1) differ from Nonylphenol Ethoxylate (NPE)?
A: While both are alkylphenol ethoxylates , Octylphenol Ethoxylate contains an 8-carbon branched alkyl chain, often providing slightly different wetting dynamics and foaming profiles compared to the 9-carbon chain of NPE.
