Octylphenol ethoxylate (Triton X-114 Type, CAS 9036-19-5) is supplied for industrial wetting, cleaning and emulsification applications requiring a low-cloud-point nonionic surfactant. Send your application, quantity and destination for a quotation; an existing specification or target cloud point helps identify the appropriate grade. For a higher nominal EO grade, compare OP-10 by active matter, cloud-point test conditions and performance in your formulation.

Product Description
Product Overview
This product is a distribution of tert-octylphenol ethoxylates, rather than a single pure molecule. The X-114 reference profile has approximately 7–8 EO units and a low aqueous cloud point. Industrial uses include wetting and cleaning formulations, metalworking fluids and emulsification. Cloud point depends on test concentration and formulation, so it helps define the usable temperature range of an aqueous system. Laboratory phase-separation applications require their own grade and performance criteria. “Triton X-114 Type” identifies a reference profile, not branded origin or proven equivalence. For EU/EEA orders, we review the substance, intended use and applicable REACH authorisation requirements with you before confirming supply.

Compare OP-7 Octylphenol Ethoxylate when selecting a related nonionic surfactant grade. Matching CAS numbers or similar nominal EO levels do not establish the same cloud point, emulsification behaviour or suitability for your process.
Quality Checks for Grade Comparison
Quality data for the quoted grade state active-matter content as a percentage, together with the analytical or calculation method and reporting basis, such as mass percent of the product as supplied. Water content is reported separately. Karl Fischer titration is an option where the grade specification and a validated procedure support its use for the sample matrix. Active-matter and water results alone do not define the EO distribution or establish single-compound purity.
Cloud-point data include the temperature in °C, aqueous test concentration and whether it is based on product or active matter, the water or additives used, and the method and endpoint. The procedure must suit the selected grade’s temperature range. These results help compare temperature-dependent behaviour in an aqueous formulation; they do not describe the storage conditions of the supplied product.
Storage, Safety and Documentation
We can provide a Certificate of Analysis (COA), Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the quoted octylphenol ethoxylate grade. Our specification review covers active matter, water, appearance and cloud-point test conditions to help you compare offers on the same basis. The SDS we provide sets out handling, storage and environmental precautions for the supplied product; its recommended storage conditions are distinct from the cloud point measured in a dilute aqueous test solution.
FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does “Triton X-114 Type” mean the offered material is branded Triton product?
A: No. We use “Triton X-114 Type” to describe a reference profile for octylphenol ethoxylate, not to claim branded origin. We match the quoted grade to your specification using active matter, ethoxylate distribution, water, appearance and cloud-point test conditions. Suitability as an alternative also depends on performance in your process. -
Q:
Which data must be compared before qualifying a Triton X-114 Type alternative?
A: Compare active-matter content and its reporting basis, ethoxylate distribution, water content, appearance and the cloud-point range with the stated test method, sample concentration and solution conditions. Then assess the proposed material in the intended process. A CAS number or an X-114 type description alone does not define the relevant operating performance or regulatory status. -
Q:
What should be confirmed for an octylphenol ethoxylate before use in a destination market?
A: Confirm the exact substance identity, intended use, destination-market requirements and customer restrictions before qualification. Alkylphenol ethoxylate chemistries can have use-specific regulatory controls. If another nonionic surfactant is required, it must be selected and tested for the actual process; a similar cloud point or nominal EO level does not prove interchangeability.
