General description

Triton X-165 is a non-ionic surfactant that is highly versatile and can be used in a range of laboratory applications. It is soluble in water and miscible in most polar organic solvents, but insoluble in aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons. This makes it an excellent choice for preparing iodophors and dispersions. Additionally, Triton X-165 is highly chemically stable in most acidic and alkaline solutions, which makes it ideal for researchers who need a reliable and effective nonionic surfactant. If you need a high-quality nonionic surfactant for your laboratory applications, Triton X-165 is an excellent choice. Its proven versatility, solubility, and chemical stability make it a valuable tool for researchers in a range of fields, including biochemistry, biophysics, and molecular biology.

Application

Triton X-165 solution is suitable for use in:

  • determining its effect on the stability of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) suspension in isopropyl alcohol
  • studying its surface tension-dependent toxicity on the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae to determine the mechanism of surfactant action
  • paints and coatings, agrochemicals, fiber lubricants, emulsion polymerization

Features and Benefits

  • Excellent steric and freeze/thaw stabilizer
  • Excellent for aromatic, chlorinated, and other compounds that are difficult to emulsify
  • Offers good solubility in the presence of salts or electrolytes and caustic solutions
  • Effective at high temperatures
  • Compatible with anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants

A cloud point extraction procedure was optimized for the separation and preconcentration of lead(II), cadmium(II), copper(II), and iron(III) ions in various water and canned food samples. The metal ions formed complexes with 2,6-diamino-4-phenyl-1,3,5-triazine that were extracted by surfactant-rich phases in
