OPE-105 (Octylphenol Ethoxylate) is mainly used in six major industries and more than ten core processes

Industry and Application Process Overview

IndustryCore Process/UsageFunctional Role
Textile IndustryDesizing, scouring, refining penetration; levelingPenetrant, leveling agent, emulsifies wax and oil, improves capillary effect and whiteness
Metal ProcessingCutting, stamping, drawing forming; inter-process rust preventionLubricating coolant, corrosion inhibitor, forms lubricating film and protective layer
Industrial CleaningDegreasing cleaning (spray, ultrasonic, normal temperature or heating)Efficient emulsifier, removes mineral oil, animal and vegetable oils
Industrial CoatingsWaterborne/solvent-based coating formulationWetting and dispersing component, promotes pigment wetting, prevents floating and flooding
Pesticide FormulationEmulsifiable concentrate, emulsion in water, suspension concentrate, wettable powderEmulsifier, dispersant, enhances dispersion stability and wetting/spreading of the active ingredient
Leather ProcessingDegreasing of raw/wet blue hides (preparation stage)Penetrates and emulsifies natural oils, improves softness and dyeing uniformity
Paper IndustryDeinking of waste paper for recycling; antistatic treatmentDeinking agent (flotation/washing to separate ink), antistatic agent

Core Functional Positioning

OPE-105 mainly performs five functions across industries: emulsification, wetting and penetration, dispersion, leveling, and antistatic. It has efficient emulsifying ability for various oil phases and organic solvents, and offers excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, and high-hardness water. It can be compounded and used synergistically with anionic, cationic, and other nonionic surfactants.
