T-Det® N 15 is an anhydrous liquid nonionic surface-active agent produced by the reaction of nonylphenol with 15 moles of ethylene oxide. Its nonionic structure makes it compatible with anionic surfactants and it is stable in the presence of acids, bases, and salts.

Chemical Name: Nonylphenol, ethoxylated

Functions: Surfactant (Nonionic)

CAS Number: 127087-87-0

Chemical Family: Alkylphenol, Ethoxylates

Labeling Claims: Animal Products-free, Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE)-free, Conflict Minerals-free, Food Allergen-free, GenX-free, Heavy Metal-free, Irradiation-free, Listed in California Prop 65, Melamine-free, Non-Genetically Modified Organism (GMO), Non-Hazardous, Not Tested on Animals, Palm Oil-free, Per & Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS)-free, Perfluorooctane Sulfonate (PFOS)-free, Perfluorooctanoic Acid (PFOA)-free, Pesticide-free, Preservative-free, Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC) Chemicals-free

Certifications & Compliance: California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010, Coalition of Northeastern Governors (CONEG), Directive 2002/95/EC, EPA Registered, ISO 9001, RoHS Compliant

Storage & Handling

Storage, Stability and Handling Information
  • T-Det “N” nonionic surfactants are stable non-corrosive products in an anhydrous state.
  • They can be stored in plain steel tanks with piping, valves, and pumps of the same metal.
  • Aqueous solutions of T-Det “N” surfactants must be stored in stainless steel or plastic lined tanks.
  • The nonylphenol-ethylene oxide adducts are slightly hydroscopic. Where necessary, guard against atmospheric moisture pick-up, an inert gas T-Det blanket may be used.
  • It should not be mixed with concentrated oxidizing or reducing agents since the mixture of these compounds with organic compounds could form a potentially explosive mixture.
