  • Applications

    2-Nonylphenol is primarily used as an intermediate for the production of nonionic surfactants such as nonylphenol ethoxylates, which are widely used in cleaning formulations, paints and coatings, and agricultural formulations; it also serves as a feedstock for alkylphenol-formaldehyde resins used in coatings and adhesives; it can be a raw material for antioxidants and stabilizers in polymer formulations; and it is a precursor for specialty surfactants and processing aids in various industrial applications.
