Nonylphenol Ethoxylate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- NPE
- Nonylphenol Polyethylene Glycol Ether
- Nonylphenol Polyoxyethylene Ether
- Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylate
Nonylphenol ethoxylate supplier for industrial detergent, textile, agrochemical and process formulators in Malaysia. Also called NPE, nonylphenol polyethylene glycol ether or nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, this nonionic surfactant family is selected by EO number rather than as a single fixed assay.
Lead commercial grades are NP-9 and NP-10 liquids, with NPE-9 used as an alternate shorthand for the about-9-EO grade. Lower-EO and higher-EO technical grades are requested when a different HLB, cloud point or solubility profile is needed. Appearance is typically clear to pale yellow liquid for mid-EO grades.
Buyers use nonylphenol ethoxylate for industrial cleaners, textile wetting and scouring, agrochemical emulsification, emulsion polymerisation and selected coating or manufacturing systems. It is a generic NPE family page, not a Tergitol brand listing and not the same chemistry as castor oil ethoxylate.
Send the required NP grade or EO number, application, target specification, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Nonylphenol Ethoxylate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NP-9 nonylphenol ethoxylate | clear to pale yellow liquid | nominal about 9 EO units; active matter confirmed against the quoted specification | Industrial detergents, wetting and emulsifying systems where buyers specify NP-9, NPE-9 or a 9 EO nonylphenol ethoxylate grade. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| NP-10 nonylphenol ethoxylate | clear to pale yellow liquid | nominal about 10 EO units; active matter confirmed against the quoted specification | Nonionic surfactant duties in cleaners, textile processing and emulsion systems where the buyer specification names NP-10. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Other EO-number NPE grades | liquid, paste or solid according to ethoxylation level | EO number and active matter confirmed against the required grade | Formulations that need a lower-EO or higher-EO nonylphenol ethoxylate for a defined HLB, cloud point or solubility profile. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about nonylphenol ethoxylate
What is nonylphenol ethoxylate (NPE)?
Nonylphenol ethoxylate is a nonionic surfactant family made by ethoxylating nonylphenol. Commercial grades are identified mainly by EO number, such as NP-9 or NP-10. Buyers may also search NPE, nonylphenol polyethylene glycol ether or nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether for the same product family.
What is the difference between NP-9 and NP-10?
Both are nonylphenol ethoxylate grades. NP-9 is the common about-9-EO liquid grade, also written NPE-9, while NP-10 is the about-10-EO grade. EO number affects water solubility, cloud point and HLB, so match the grade named on the formulation or customer specification.
Is NPE-9 the same as NP-9 nonylphenol ethoxylate?
Yes in commercial practice. NPE-9 and NP-9 both refer to a nonylphenol ethoxylate around nine ethylene oxide units. Still state the exact grade, EO number and any active or cloud-point limits in the enquiry.
Is nonylphenol ethoxylate the same as Tergitol?
No. Tergitol is a brand family that can include NP grades among other surfactant series. This page covers generic nonylphenol ethoxylate grades. Brand-led Tergitol requirements should be stated clearly if that identity is mandatory.
Which applications use nonylphenol ethoxylate?
Common industrial uses include detergents and cleaners, textile wetting and scouring, agrochemical emulsification, emulsion polymerisation and selected coating or process formulations. Describe the finished use and performance target when requesting a quote.
What details are needed for a nonylphenol ethoxylate quotation?
Provide the NP grade or EO number, application, target specification, quantity, preferred packing and delivery location. List any document needs so availability, packing and documentation can be confirmed with the quote.
