How to use XPO-5 Triphenylethylene Phenol Polyoxyethylene Ether Ammonium Sulfate?

XPO-5 is an anionic multifunctional surfactant. Its usage methods vary in different application fields. It is usually diluted and used at an addition amount of 1%~10%. The specific dosage needs to be determined through experimental optimization based on the formulation system and application scenario.

Detailed Description

XPO-5 (Triphenylethylene Phenol Polyoxyethylene Ether Ammonium Sulfate) is a light yellow to brownish yellow transparent viscous liquid, belonging to anionic surfactants. The stock solution is in a viscous state, and in practical use, it usually needs to be pre-diluted or mixed uniformly with other formulation components before being added to the system. This product has excellent acid and alkali resistance and hard water adaptability, can be used under a wide pH range, and is not easily deactivated in hard water, making it stable in complex water quality and formulation systems.

Depending on the application field, the usage of XPO-5 varies: In pesticide formulations, it is used as an emulsifier, usually in combination with oily active ingredients and nonionic emulsifiers; in emulsion polymerization, it participates as a system emulsifier; in textile auxiliaries and industrial cleaning, it can be directly added to the working solution as a functional component.

Application Recommendations

1. Pesticide Emulsifier

XPO-5 is used as a high-efficiency anionic emulsifier in pesticide formulations (such as emulsifiable concentrates, aqueous emulsions, microemulsions, etc.). It is recommended to be used in combination with nonionic emulsifiers (such as agricultural emulsifier 600 series, 700 series, etc.). The typical anionic/nonionic blending ratio is 1:2 to 1:4, and the total emulsifier dosage is generally 5%~15% of the total formulation, depending on the properties of the active ingredient. For use, simply mix XPO-5 evenly with the active ingredient, solvent, and nonionic emulsifier.

2. Emulsion Polymerization Emulsifier

Used in emulsion polymerization systems such as acrylic, styrene-acrylic, and vinyl acetate-acrylic. The recommended dosage is 1%~4% of the total monomer amount. It can be added all at once in the kettle at the initial stage of polymerization, or partially added continuously during the reaction. XPO-5 can be used alone or in combination with nonionic emulsifiers (such as XPO series nonionic products) to better control latex particle size and emulsion stability.

3. Textile Auxiliaries

Used as a wetting agent or emulsifier in textile pretreatment and dyeing processes. The recommended working solution concentration is 0.5~3 g/L. In the pretreatment scouring process, it can be combined with alkali agents and chelating agents; when used as a leveling agent or penetrant in dyeing, it can be directly added to the dye bath and stirred evenly.

4. Industrial Detergents

Used in heavy-duty cleaning formulations such as metal degreasers and hard surface cleaners. The recommended addition amount in the formulation is 2%~8%. It can be combined with nonionic surfactants, builders, chelating agents, etc., to improve overall detergency. The recommended usage temperature is within the range of room temperature to 80°C, with better detergency at higher temperatures.

Precautions

• The stock solution of this product is a viscous liquid, and its viscosity increases at low temperatures. It is recommended to take it in an environment above 15°C. If necessary, preheat to 30~40°C for easier operation.
• When diluting, slowly add XPO-5 to water and stir, rather than pouring water into the product, to avoid gel formation.
• Avoid direct contact with strong oxidizers. It is recommended to wear chemical protective gloves and goggles during operation.
• Specific dosage and blending schemes need to be verified and optimized through experiments. The above recommended dosages are only general reference ranges. The actual optimal dosage is affected by the formulation system, water quality, and process conditions.
• Store in a cool, dry place at 5~40°C. Seal the container promptly after use to prevent moisture absorption.
• This product is of low toxicity, but still need to comply with industrial chemical operation specifications, avoid ingestion and prolonged skin contact.
