Manufacturer & Exporter: Surfactant, Oilfield Chemicals, Cosmetic Waxes & Specialty Chemicals
Alkylphenol is a synthetic derivative of the organic acid, alkaloid, cork material, and sap of a cork tree ( Corky creeper ). It can be formed from any number of cork material and/or organic chemicals. It has been studied for several decades and its mechanism of action is still poorly understood. Many studies have been done on the physiological and biochemical aspects of alkylphenol surfactant, e.g.
Alkylphenol esters have applications in detergents and industrial cleaners. Surfactants that are derived from alkylphenolethylates are also used as surfactant and leaching agents and in the production of lubricants. In this report, we present the complete methodology and study the trends in the alkylphenol ethoxylate market segment analysis - by substance.
The most popularly used cork derivative is Alkylphenol ( ALQ). Its chemical name is C 6 H 6 Oester, hence the name cork. It is widely used as a stabilizer in many detergents, engine degreasers and industrial cleaners. It is widely used in textiles, leather finishes, leather cleaning and textile finishing and it is especially popular as a solvent for nonylphenol, naphthalene and methyl tert-butyl ether.
Nonylphenol, naphthalene and methyl tert-butyl ethers are the major ingredients of many common detergents that are commonly used in the US. In the past few years, however, as part of the European Union (EU) restrictions on environmental chemicals, the Alkylphenol Ethoxylate market has been greatly reduced. However, its popularity is not yet fully restored in the US market. The reason behind the decline in sales of Alkylphenol Ethoxylate is its expensive price tag, which is more expensive than other foam stabilizers.
The sales of Alkylphenol and related products in China were previously driven by its ability to deodorize clothing and bathing suits, which was beneficial to companies involved in the clothing and swimwear industry. But it has also been found to have anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-microbial, anti-scratch and anti-slip properties. This means that clothes and bathing suits treated with Alkylphenol can be worn again without any fear of adverse reactions. According to the research conducted by Dr K. S. Koh of Dongwen University, paper published in the Journal of Chemical Chemistry showed that the use of Alkylphenol promoted the growth of cress. This led the scientists to conclude that the use of Alkylphenol may also have applications beyond the petrochemical industry.
The research also showed that the increase in the price of alkylphenol ethoxylate was indicative of oversupply. This, according to the experts, implies that the demand is increasing as the demand for cleaners increases. This, if nothing else, could help the company in its efforts to dominate the cleaning market. It remains to be seen how other big companies would play catch up with the prices of Alkylphenol. The competition could make prices more competitive leading to further innovations and new technologies in the line of Alkylphenol Ethoxylate.
