Description

General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products, which adhere to one or more of The 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. This product is a biodegradable surfactant and is aligned with the 10^th principle of Green Chemistry "Design for Degradation".

Tergitol^™ 15-S-9 is a linear non-ionic surfactant that is a secondary ethoxylated alcohol. This clear liquid surfactant is compatible with anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants.

Application

Tergitol™ 15-S-9 has been used:

• To synthesize thermally stable mesoporous alumina
• To synthesize porous TiO₂
• Along with SDS, ethanol and water for continuous phase preparations in electrospray emulsification
• In the synthesis of Lath-like γ-alumina and boehmite nanofibers

Tergitol has been used as a surfactant to study its influence on the formation of multi-phase micro-emulsions.

Features and Benefits

• Superior detergency
• Rapid dissolution & good rinseability
• Excellent formulation & handling properties
• Narrow gel range
• Readily biodegradable (OECD 301E)
• Low odor

Other Notes

Polyglycol ether (nonionic) surfactants.
