A grade-specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) — with the complete hazard classification, handling precautions, and transport information — is supplied with every shipment and available on request. Confirm all safety and regulatory details against the SDS for your specific grade.
Request SDS →Nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE, CAS 9016-45-9) is the ethoxylated condensate of nonylphenol, a nonionic surfactant. Established uses include service as a surfactant, emulsifier, and wetting agent in detergents, cleaners, and industrial formulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is NP9 an emulsifier?
Yes. Nonylphenol ethoxylate-9 is a nonionic surfactant that emulsifies oil phases into water and also acts as a wetting and dispersing aid in detergents, cleaners, and industrial formulations.
What is nonylphenol ethoxylate-9 used for?
NPE-9 functions as a nonionic surfactant in detergents and cleaners, as an emulsifier in formulated and industrial products, and as a wetting/dispersing additive.
What is the chemical identity of nonylphenol ethoxylate-9?
NPE is the ethoxylated condensate of nonylphenol, CAS 9016-45-9, a nonionic surfactant. The 9 designates an average of roughly nine ethylene-oxide units per molecule.
How does NPE-9 differ from other ethoxylate grades like NPE-10?
Grades differ by average ethoxylation, which shifts the HLB and water solubility; higher EO numbers are generally more hydrophilic. Specify the EO grade you require so the correct material is supplied.
What is the cost of bulk nonylphenol ethoxylate-9?
Bulk price varies with volume, packaging (drums, totes, IBCs), and freight. Send your quantity and destination for a current quote; a CoA and SDS are included with bulk orders.
