CAS Number: 84133-50-6

Surfactant for superior overall cleaning performance, readily biodegradable, and rapid wetting.

TERGITOL 15-S-40 is a biodegradable surfactant.
TERGITOL 15-S-40 is a 70% aqueous solution of a secondary alcohol ethoxylate with 41 ethylene oxide (EO) units.

Nonionic surfactant. 
Used as emulsion polymerization, paints, solid cleaners. 
Possesses high HLB emulsifier & dispersant.

TERGITOL 15-S-40 is a versatile, high performance secondary alcohol ethoxylate (SAE). 
Acts as a non-ionic surfactant, freeze-thaw controller, dispersing agent, emulsifier. 

Offers freeze thaw and ionic stability and good handling properties. 
TERGITOL 15-S-40 is not alkyl phenol ethoxylate-based. 

TERGITOL 15-S-40 provides an unbeatable combination of performance and cost when used in place of primary alcohol etthoxylates (PAE), nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPE), octylphenol ethoxylates (OPE), and other general purpose surfactants in a wide range of formulating application.
TERGITOL 15-S-40 is used in paint and coatings, floor polish and wax emulsions.
