Raw Material for Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate Production
According to the Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate production plant project report, the key raw materials used in the production of Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate include.
Production Process of Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate
The extensive Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate production cost report consists of the following major industrial production process:
- From Nonylphenol, Ethylene Oxide, and Catalyst: The production process of Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate involves a polymerization reaction. In this process, nonylphenol is combined with a catalyst, mainly a strong base. After that, ethylene oxide is reacted with the hydroxyl group of nonylphenol, forming Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate as the final product.
Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate has a molecular formula of C19H32O3 with a molecular weight of around 308.46 g/mol. It is a viscous fluid with a colorless to pale yellow-colored appearance. Its melting point is around 5 °C with a boiling point greater than 200 °C. Its flash point is around 237 °C, and its density ranges from 0.99 to 1.07 g/cm³ at 25 °C. It is soluble in water fluid and also dissolves in ethanol, methanol, isopropanol, acetone, and ethylene glycol. It has hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties that allow it to capture non-polar substances such as oil and dirt. It works well in hard water and low temperatures. The compound remains stable under normal conditions and does not react in the presence of alkalis and acids. The compound isolates the grease and oil present on a surface from water and helps in cleaning as a surfactant.
