A branched nonylphenol, 4-nonylphenol, is the most widely produced and marketed nonylphenol. [12] The mixture of nonylphenol isomers is a pale yellow liquid, although the pure compounds are colorless. The nonylphenols are moderately soluble in water [12] but soluble in alcohol.
Alkylphenol. Alkylphenols are a family of organic compounds obtained by the alkylation of phenols. The term is usually reserved for commercially important propylphenol, butylphenol, amylphenol, heptylphenol, octylphenol, nonylphenol, dodecylphenol and related "long chain alkylphenols" (LCAPs). Methylphenols and ethylphenols are also ...
Triton X-100 (C. 14H. 22O (C. 2H. 4O)n) is a nonionic surfactant that has a hydrophilic polyethylene oxide chain (on average it has 9.5 ethylene oxide units) and an aromatic hydrocarbon lipophilic or hydrophobic group. The hydrocarbon group is a 4- (1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)- phenyl group. Triton X-100 is closely related to IGEPAL CA-630, which ...
Ethoxylation. In organic chemistry, ethoxylation is a chemical reaction in which ethylene oxide (C2H4O) adds to a substrate. It is the most widely practiced alkoxylation, which involves the addition of epoxides to substrates. In the usual application, alcohols and phenols are converted into R (OC2H4)nOH, where n ranges from 1 to 10.
Phenol formaldehyde resins (PF) (phenolic resins or phenoplasts [ 1 ]) are synthetic polymers obtained by the reaction of phenol or substituted phenol with formaldehyde. Used as the basis for Bakelite, PFs were the first commercial synthetic resins. They have been widely used for the production of molded products including billiard balls ...
If "Nonylphenol" is a mixture of all isomers except 4-(n-nonyl)-phenol, then I think the article should be renamed to something else (like "Nonylphenol (mixture)"). OTOH, maybe there should be two articles with details about the two compounds for which we have chemboxes: the ramified version, and the para-linear-version.
Surfactants in paint. Paint has four major components: pigments, binders, solvents, and additives. Pigments serve to give paint its color, texture, toughness, as well as determining if a paint is opaque or not. Common white pigments include titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Binders are the film forming component of a paint as it dries and ...
Phenols. In organic chemistry, phenols, sometimes called phenolics, are a class of chemical compounds consisting of one or more hydroxyl groups (− O H) bonded directly to an aromatic hydrocarbon group. [1] The simplest is phenol, C. 6H. 5OH.
