Abstract:

The substitution of nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether-10(NPEO10)is a subject regarding environmental and regulatory requirements. Nonylcyclohexanol polyoxyethylene ether(NCEOn)possesses a structure similar to nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, with the same source of raw materials, and is most likely to be used as a substitute. The application performances of NCEOn and NPEO10 were systematically examined and compared, in order to provide a theoretical reference for seeking environmentally friendly alternatives to NPEO10 in terms of the structure-activity relationship of NCEOn. The experimental results show that NCEO7 is the one most like NPEO10 in emulsifying and wetting properties, and it is slightly better than NPEO10 in emulsifying olive oil, liquid paraffin and dimethicone. Therefore, NCEO7 can be a candidate for substituting NPEO10 as an emulsifier in industrial fields such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals and petroleum.

Key words: nonionic surfactant, nonylcyclohexanol polyoxyethylene ether, surface property, emulsifying property
