Overview of the types and applications of Polykem's Nonylphenol Ethoxylate

Nonylphenol Ethoxylate (NPE) has become a common industrial surfactant in the chemical, textile, agricultural, energy and other industries due to its excellent emulsifying, dispersing and wetting properties. Polykem's NPE series products feature high purity, stability and customized services, providing efficient solutions for customers worldwide.We will take you into an in-depth understanding of the types and core application scenarios of NPE!

There are many types of NPE, which are mainly divided according to the addition number of ethylene oxide (EO). The common specifications are EO 4/6/9/10/15/20/30/40 and so on. Different EO addition amounts endow Npes with distinct characteristics. For instance, NPE products with a low EO addition amount have a stronger lipophilicity, while those with a high EO addition amount have more prominent hydrophilicity. The HLB value (hydrophilic-lipophilic balance value) can be adjusted between 8 and 18.5, which enables NPE to flexibly adapt to the demands of different industries.

NPE is widely used. In industrial cleaning, it effectively removes dirt from the surfaces of metals, vehicles, etc. by virtue of its strong decontamination power, reducing the surface tension of liquids, and improving the efficiency and quality of cleaning. During textile processing, it can be used as an emulsifier and dispersant to ensure the uniform dispersion of dyes, making the fabric dyeing more vivid and enhancing the adhesion effect of auxiliaries.

In the agricultural field, NPE is used in pesticide formulations to enhance emulsification stability, ensure uniform coverage of crops by pesticides, increase utilization rates, and reduce waste and pollution. For coatings and paints industry, it serves as a wetting agent and emulsifier, enhancing the adhesion of coatings and ensuring the uniform dispersion of components. In emulsion polymerization, the stabilizing and emulsifying monomers affect the performance of the polymer.

As a trusted supplier in the industry, Polykem's NPE products have passed the ISO 9001 quality management system certification. We offer a full range of NPE products in various specifications to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
