Products Description
Nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE), also known as polyethylene glycol monononylphenyl ether with molecular formula C₁₅H₂₄O(C₂H₄O)ₙ, belongs to non‑ionic surfactants. Synthesized by polymerization of nonylphenol and ethylene oxide, it appears as pale‑yellow to brown viscous liquid with distinct odor.
Owing to its excellent detergency, wetting and emulsifying performance, NPE is extensively used in industrial & household cleaners, pesticides, coatings, textiles and cosmetics. Nevertheless, its high aquatic toxicity and low biodegradability raise environmental concerns, leading to regulatory limitations on its application.

Products Application
Nonylphenol Ethoxylates (NPEs) are liquid‑form nonionic surfactants. Different grades of NPEs are defined by the molar content of ethylene oxide (EO).
NPEs deliver versatile functions, serving as adjuvants, cleaners, detergents, dispersants, emulsifiers, humectants, solubilizers and wetting agents. They enjoy wide‑ranging applications across coatings, agrochemical formulations, functional fluids, household detergents, industrial & institutional cleaning, as well as oil and gas industries
