Nonylphenol (NP, CAS 25154-52-3) is a branched-chain alkylphenol. Established uses include service as a feedstock for nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactants and phenolic resins, and as a co-stabilizer with mixed-metal heat stabilizers in plastics.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is nonylphenol used for?
Nonylphenol is primarily a feedstock for nonylphenol ethoxylate surfactants and for phenolic resins. It also serves as a co-stabilizer with mixed-metal heat stabilizers in PVC and other plastics.
What products contain nonylphenol?
Nonylphenol is mainly an industrial intermediate rather than a finished-product ingredient. It is consumed in the manufacture of NPE surfactants, phenolic resins, and plastic heat-stabilizer packages.
What is the chemical identity of nonylphenol?
Nonylphenol (NP) is a branched-chain alkylphenol, CAS 25154-52-3, molecular formula C15H24O. It is supplied as a specialty additive and resin/surfactant feedstock.
How is bulk nonylphenol shipped, and is it regulated for transport?
Nonylphenol is assigned UN 3145 for transport and ships under the corresponding DOT/IMDG requirements. It is typically supplied in drums, totes, or IBCs; a CoA and SDS accompany each shipment for handling and classification.
What HS code applies to nonylphenol?
Nonylphenol is classified under HS 2907.13, octylphenol, nonylphenol and their isomers and salts. Verify the exact tariff line for your destination with your customs broker.
