emulsifier SOPE-4 - Introduction
Secondary octylphenol polyoxyethylene (4) ether, also known as C8 alcohol polyoxyethylene ether, is a polymer compound with a phenolic group of eight carbon atoms and four ethoxy groups in its chemical structure. The following is a description of some properties, uses, preparation and safety information about the compound:
Nature:
-Appearance: Colorless or light yellow liquid.
-Solubility: Soluble in water and many organic solvents.
-Thermal stability: relatively stable at high temperatures.
-Surface activity: It has good surface activity and can be used as an emulsifier and surfactant.
Use:
-Surfactants: Widely used in products such as cleaners, detergents, lubricants and softeners.
-cosmetics: used as softener, hair conditioner, etc.
-Agriculture: Can be used as a wetting agent and synergist in agriculture.
-Medicine: Used as a solvent or adjuvant for drugs in the pharmaceutical industry.
Preparation Method:
Secondary octylphenol polyoxyethylene (4) ether is usually prepared by the reaction of phenol and ethylene oxide. Among them, ethylene oxide reacts with phenol to form ethylene oxide, and then reacts with ethylene oxide in other molecules to carry out chain extension reaction, and finally secondary octylphenol polyoxyethylene (4) ether is obtained.
Safety Information:
-Secondary octylphenol polyoxyethylene (4) ether is generally a low-toxicity compound, but it is still necessary to avoid direct contact with eyes, skin and respiratory tract.
-Use the compound with appropriate protective measures such as gloves, goggles and breathing masks.
-During storage and use, avoid reacting with oxidants, acids, alkalis and other substances, and keep away from open flames.
In view of the slight differences in the use and handling of chemical substances in different scenarios, it is recommended to refer to the chemical safety data sheet and the detailed information provided by the manufacturer for specific applications.
