Chemical Name: Nonylphenol polyethylene Glycol Ether
Trade Name: KENON 20
Introduction:
Nonylphenol Ethoxylates (NPEs) are nonionic surfactants which are such as all kinds of other nonionic surfactants mixtures varying in the number of repeating ethoxy groups. The digit which is appeared after the name of KENON shows the average number of ethylene oxide units in the Nonylphenol Ethoxylate molecule. For example, KENON4 means a nonylphenol molecule which is reacted with average four molecules of ethylene oxide.
Different Grades: KENON 4, 6, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40
General Applications:
Nonylphenol Ethoxylates are used in a wide variety of applications, for instance detergent formulations, emulsifiers in many industries, paints and coatings, emulsion polymerization, and many others. Nonylphenol Ethoxylates surfactants are used anywhere there is a need for increased surface activity, and provide excellent all-purpose detergency and wetting, as well as solubilization and emulsification.
