Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylates

Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylates (NPEs) are a class of non-ionic surfactants and have historically been among the most effective and versatile surfactants due to their strong emulsifying, wetting, and detergency properties. Their unique molecular structure enables efficient interaction between oil and water phases, making them highly reliable in complex formulations.

NPEs exhibit excellent stability across a wide pH range, maintain performance in the presence of electrolytes, and remain effective under varying temperature conditions. These characteristics have made them a preferred choice in demanding industrial applications where formulation robustness and consistency are critical.

They have been extensively used in agrochemical emulsifier systems (EC, EW, SE), textile processing, industrial and institutional cleaning formulations, leather and paper processing, as well as in secondary emulsifier concentrates requiring strong oil-solubilizing capacity.
