    FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain

    • Q:

      Is CAS 9002‑93‑1 the same substance as CAS 9036‑19‑5?

      A: Yes. Both CAS numbers are commonly used for octylphenol ethoxylates and are considered equivalent in most commercial and regulatory documents.
    • Q:

      Is this product identical to branded Triton™ X‑100?

      A: It is a functional equivalent with comparable chemical composition and performance, but it is not a branded product.
    • Q:

      What are the main applications of Triton X-100 Equivalent?

      A: Triton X-100 Equivalent (Octylphenol Ethoxylate, CAS 9002-93-1) is widely used as a detergent, emulsifier, and wetting agent in industrial cleaning, pesticide formulations, pharmaceutical processing, biochemical research (cell lysis buffers), and electronics manufacturing (chip cleaning).
    • Q:

      What is the difference between Triton X-100 and Triton X-100 Equivalent?

      A: Triton X-100 Equivalent is a nonionic surfactant designed to match the performance characteristics of the branded Triton X-100 (originally produced by Dow/Union Carbide). While the chemical composition, HLB value (13.5), and surface activity are comparable, the exact manufacturing process and trace impurity profiles may differ. It is a cost-effective alternative for most industrial and laboratory applications.
    • Q:

      What is the HLB value of Triton X-100 Equivalent?

      A: The HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) value of Triton X-100 Equivalent is approximately 13.5, which indicates good water solubility and suitability for oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion systems. This HLB range makes it effective as a detergent, emulsifier, and wetting agent across a broad pH range.
    • Q:

      What documentation is available for Triton X-100 Equivalent?

      A: Standard documentation includes SDS (Safety Data Sheet), TDS (Technical Data Sheet), and COA (Certificate of Analysis). These documents can be provided upon request to support regulatory compliance, quality verification, and safe handling in industrial and laboratory settings.
