Description

Beta-Naphthoxyethanol (CAS 35545-57-4 ) is a naphthol-derived ethoxylate used as a surface-active building block and functional additive across specialty chemical formulations. It acts as an emulsifier, wetting agent, and dispersion aid in systems where controlled interfacial activity is required. In textile processing, it supports dye leveling and fiber wetting, improving dye uptake uniformity across synthetic and blended fabrics. Coating and ink formulations use it to modify surface tension and enhance pigment dispersion. These properties contribute to improved film formation and print quality in various industrial applications. In adhesive and sealant systems, it functions as a rheology modifier, helping to control flow behavior and substrate wetting during application. Leather and paper treatment processes also employ it to achieve consistent surface penetration and finish uniformity. This versatility makes it a valuable component for manufacturers seeking reliable performance in complex chemical systems. Beta-Naphthoxyethanol is typically supplied as a liquid or low-viscosity melt, depending on ethoxylation degree and purity specification. Technical-grade material is the standard commercial offering for most industrial users. Purity levels are commonly specified by the supplier to meet industrial formulation requirements and ensure batch consistency. Packaging is available in drums and intermediate bulk containers suited to industrial procurement volumes. Contact us for supply of beta-Naphthoxyethanol Request Quote
