  • Applications

    Nonaethylene glycol monododecyl ether (CAS 3055-99-0) is a nonionic surfactant used as an emulsifier and wetting agent in diverse formulations. It also acts as a dispersant and surface-active additive in paints, coatings, inks, and polymer processing to improve wetting, stabilize emulsions, and disperse pigments. In household and industrial cleaners it functions as a cleaning aid and solubilizer, helping detergents spread and lift soils. In cosmetics and personal care, it serves as a mild surfactant and solubilizer for active ingredients and fragrances. In agriculture, it is used as an adjuvant in agrochemical formulations to enhance spray deposition and coverage. In polymer and plastics manufacturing, it can serve as an emulsifier or processing aid during polymerization and formulation steps.
