Octylphenol Ethoxylate Supplier Malaysia
- Also known as
- OPE
- Polyoxyethylene Octylphenyl Ether
- Octylphenol Polyethylene Glycol Ether
Octylphenol ethoxylate is a nonionic surfactant family supplied by nominal ethylene oxide chain length. Also called OPE, polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether or octylphenol polyethylene glycol ether, it is selected by buyers who need a defined wetting, emulsifying or detergency profile from a supplier in Malaysia.
Market grades range from clear or slightly viscous low-EO liquids to higher-EO pastes and waxy solids. The EO number, HLB, cloud point and physical form are central selection details, so individual chain lengths remain grades of octylphenol ethoxylate rather than separate chemicals.
Applications include industrial cleaning, textile scouring and wetting, emulsion polymerisation, coating formulations, agrochemical formulations and specialised laboratory detergency. Octylphenol ethoxylate is not nonylphenol ethoxylate, fatty alcohol ethoxylate, alkyl polyglucoside or polysorbate, even where these surfactants may be considered for related functions.
Send the required EO grade or HLB range, cloud-point requirement, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation for the selected specification.
- Grade
- low-EO liquid grade, higher-EO paste or solid grade

Octylphenol Ethoxylate applications
Common questions about Octylphenol Ethoxylate
How is an octylphenol ethoxylate grade selected?
Specify the nominal ethylene oxide chain length or target HLB, together with cloud point, physical form and application. These details distinguish grades intended for different wetting, emulsifying and detergency duties.
Is octylphenol ethoxylate the same as nonylphenol ethoxylate?
No. They are different alkylphenol ethoxylate families and must be specified separately, even where a formulator evaluates them for similar surfactant functions.
Why can octylphenol ethoxylate be a liquid, paste or solid?
Physical form changes with the nominal ethoxylate chain length. Lower-EO grades are generally liquids, while higher-EO grades may be pastes or waxy solids.
What information is needed for an octylphenol ethoxylate quotation?
Provide the EO grade or target HLB, cloud-point requirement, intended application, quantity and delivery location. A sample specification or current product data sheet can help match the required grade.
What packing and documents are available?
Packing and document availability are confirmed for the selected grade with the quotation. Include any required data-sheet or batch-document request in the enquiry.
