Chemical characterization of TERGITOL NP-30:
nonyl phenol poly glycol ether 30 Ethoxylate
Characteristics of TERGITOL NP-30:
Both the chemical and processing characteristics of TERGITOL NP-30 depend largely on the ratio of hydrophobic molecules (nonylphenol) to the hydrophilic – i.e. water solubilizing – polyglycolether chain (number of ethylene oxidemolecules).
Compatibility of TERGITOL NP-30:
Being nonionic, TERGITOL NP-30 is compatible with all other nonionic, anionic or cationic substances.
Electrolytes, for example neutral salts, alkalis and – to a lesser extent – acids, reduce the water solubility of TERGITOL NP-30 and may lead to their salting out, especially at high concentrations and temperatures.
Decomposition of the products does not occur.
For solutions containing high amounts of electrolytes, TERGITOL NP-30 with long polyglycolether chains may be used since, being more hydrophilic, they are not so easily salted out.
Stability of TERGITOL NP-30:
TERGITOL NP-30 has excellent resistance to compounds that cause hard water, to metal salts, including those of heavy metals, acids, alkalis, reductive agents and oxidative agents based on peroxide.
Solubility and Compatibility of TERGITOL NP-30:
Soluble in water
Soluble in chlorinated solvents and most polar solvents
Chemically stable in the presence of dilute acids, bases and salts
Compatible with soaps, anionic and other nonionic surfactants, and many organic solvents
