CAS 2315-67-5: 4-Octylphenol monoethoxylate

Description: 4-Octylphenol monoethoxylate, with the CAS number 2315-67-5, is a nonionic surfactant commonly used in various industrial applications, including as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersant. This compound is characterized by its hydrophobic octylphenol group, which provides lipophilic properties, and an ethoxylate group that imparts hydrophilicity. The balance between these hydrophobic and hydrophilic characteristics allows it to effectively reduce surface tension and enhance the solubility of hydrophobic substances in aqueous solutions. 4-Octylphenol monoethoxylate is typically a viscous liquid or a solid at room temperature, depending on its specific formulation and molecular weight. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits good stability under various pH conditions. However, it is important to note that compounds in the alkylphenol ethoxylate family can be subject to environmental scrutiny due to potential endocrine-disrupting effects. Therefore, handling and disposal should be conducted with care, following appropriate safety guidelines and regulations.
