Ethoxylated phenol

Description:
Ethoxylated phenol, with the CAS number 9004-78-8, is a non-ionic surfactant commonly used in various industrial applications. It is synthesized through the ethoxylation of phenol, resulting in a compound that typically features a hydrophobic phenolic ring and hydrophilic ethylene oxide units. This structure imparts surfactant properties, making it effective in reducing surface tension and enhancing wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing capabilities. Ethoxylated phenol is often utilized in formulations for detergents, cosmetics, and agricultural products due to its ability to stabilize emulsions and improve product performance. It is generally characterized by its low toxicity and biodegradability, although specific properties can vary based on the degree of ethoxylation. Additionally, it may exhibit varying degrees of solubility in water, depending on the number of ethylene oxide units attached. Safety considerations include potential skin and eye irritation, necessitating appropriate handling measures. Overall, ethoxylated phenol is valued for its versatility and effectiveness in enhancing the performance of various formulations across multiple industries.
