Emulsifier op10 is one of the most common emulsifiers in our industry, and its uses are very extensive. Op-10 belongs to the emulsifier OP series. Before a customer came to consult us about the difference between emulsifier op and emulsifier NP, tx. Today, the small editor of Shanghai Chain Set Chemical will introduce the difference between these three emulsifiers.
The composition of these three emulsifiers is alkylphenol polyoxyethylene ether, but there are still some differences. As far as the domestic market is concerned, we generally default to tx and np as the same product, while op is slightly different, the difference is that the carbon chain with op is 14 carbon, and tx/np is a carbon chain of 15 carbon.
As for the performance: the emulsifier op series has better emulsification and permeability than the tx/np series, and the foam of the op series is lower than that of tx/np. But the dispersion performance of the op series is not as good as tx/np. For the same model of product, the cloud point and HLB value of op are a little higher than tx/np.
The difference in the use temperature, the op series can be used under higher temperature conditions, and the op series is more suitable for emulsifiers because of its unique emulsification properties.
Tx/np series is suitable for use under low temperature conditions, tx/np series has good washing capacity, mostly used in the field of cleaning, such as for synthetic detergents, the preparation of various detergents.
