General Description

Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), .alpha.-2-naphthalenyl-.omega.-hydroxy-, also known as Nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE), is a nonionic surfactant that is commonly used in a variety of industrial and consumer products. It is a complex mixture of compounds that result from the ethoxylation of nonylphenol, which is produced from the reaction of nonene and phenol. NPEs are widely used as emulsifiers, wetting agents, and detergents in industrial applications such as textile processing, agrochemicals, and cleaning products. However, NPEs have been identified as persistent organic pollutants and are known to have toxic effects on aquatic organisms, leading to restrictions in their use and a push towards finding more sustainable alternatives.
