Related Chemical Family Octylphenol Ethoxylate / Alkylphenol Ethoxylate
Common Synonyms Octylphenol Ethoxylate, Alkylphenol Ethoxylate, Octylphenol Polyethylene Glycol Ether, Polyoxyethylene Octylphenyl Ether
Typical Supply Form Viscous substance or liquid depending on temperature and concentration
Typical Active Content ≥68%; some supplied grades may be around 70%
Physical & Chemical Properties
Appearance Colorless to pale yellow viscous substance or liquid
pH (1% aqueous solution) 6–8
Solubility Easily soluble in water and common organic solvents
Handling Behavior High viscosity at room temperature; dissolves more rapidly when heated to around 40°C
Penetration Performance ≤8 seconds under the stated alkaline test conditions on the source page
Alkali Resistance Withstands 200 g/L NaOH; some source-page statements mention up to 250 g/L depending on grade
Functional Characteristics Wetting, penetration, emulsifying, degreasing, cleaning and dispersing performance, especially under strongly alkaline conditions
Stability Reported as chemically stable and compatible with hard water; source page also states resistance to concentrated alkalis and some oxidizing or reducing conditions
Applications
  • Used in textile printing and dyeing as an alkali-resistant refining agent and penetrant to improve wetting and bath penetration.
  • Suitable for textile pretreatment systems operating under strongly alkaline conditions.
  • Applied in electroplating and electronics-related process formulations where surface wetting support is required.
  • Used in metal surface treatment for cleaning, degreasing and pretreatment support.
  • Can be compounded into detergents, leveling agents, emulsifiers and penetrants for industrial process systems.
  • Suitable for related industrial formulations requiring nonionic surface activity and alkali-resistant penetration performance.
Packaging
  • 50 kg plastic drum

Packaging information may vary according to supplied concentration and shipment arrangement.

Storage Conditions
  • Store in a cool and dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep in sealed containers to reduce moisture and impurity entry.
  • Room-temperature storage is recommended.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to excessively high or low storage temperatures.
Safety Precautions
  • Wear chemical-resistant gloves, protective work clothing and eye or face protection during handling.
  • Use suitable respiratory protection when required by the operating environment or emergency conditions.
  • Because the product can be highly viscous, warming to around 40°C may be used to assist dissolution where process conditions allow.
  • Avoid direct contact with high heat and open flame during handling.
  • Avoid contact with incompatible strong oxidants.
  • Refer to the current SDS for detailed handling, disposal and first-aid information.
