  Octyl phenol Alias：p-tert-OCTYLPHENOL; p-(1,1,3,3-Tetramethylbutyl)phenol; 2-octylphenol Information： Molecular formula：C8H17C6H4OH Relative molecular mass: 262.43 Property：A mixture of several isomers White crystal flake in appearance, combustible, freezing point of 72～74℃, relative density of 0.89(90/4℃), and boiling point of 280～302℃. It is insoluble in water, slightly soluble in alkaline, and soluble in a mixture of methanol and potassium hydroxide water solution(50%) of 1:1, as well as alcohol, acetone and non-volatile oil. The industrial goods are liquid in appearance. Applications: It is used for producing surfactant with non-ionic, ionic and Gemini types. It has multi-function of emulsification, dispersibility and wetting. It is a raw material for non-ionic surfactant such as alkylphenol additive, demulsifier, metal cleaner, emulsifier, wetting agent and leveling agent. It is also used as antioxidant, stabilizer and raw materials for auxiliary in rubber and plastics industry. Relative products： Chemicals such as rosin modified phenolic resin, sulfurized alkyl phenolate T115, calcium nonylphenyl phenolate, barium nonylphenyl phenolate, nonylphenol ethoxylate, pesticide spraying assistant, lubricant additive, phenolic resin. Note: This product can be mixed with octyl phenol to produce compound alkylphenol ethoxylates(APEO) instead of nonylphenol ethoxylates (NEPO) in different fields.
