Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), α-sulfo-ω-(nonylphenoxy)-

Description:
Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), α-sulfo-ω-(nonylphenoxy)-, commonly referred to as a nonylphenol ethoxylate sulfonate, is a surfactant characterized by its amphiphilic nature, which allows it to effectively reduce surface tension in aqueous solutions. This compound features a hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) backbone and a hydrophobic nonylphenol group, making it suitable for various applications, including detergents, emulsifiers, and wetting agents. Its sulfonate group enhances water solubility and contributes to its effectiveness in hard water conditions. The substance is known for its ability to stabilize emulsions and foams, making it valuable in industrial formulations. However, due to environmental concerns regarding the biodegradability and potential endocrine-disrupting effects of nonylphenol derivatives, its use is subject to regulatory scrutiny. Overall, this compound exemplifies the balance between functionality in industrial applications and the need for environmental safety considerations.
