Description

Polyethylene glycol trimethylnonyl ether (CAS 60828-78-6 ), commercially recognized as Tergitol TMN-10, is a nonionic surfactant used across cleaning, textile processing, and agricultural formulations. It delivers effective emulsification, wetting, and degreasing performance across a broad range of formulation types. In industrial and household cleaning products, it functions as a low-foaming surfactant. This chemical cuts through grease and oils without leaving heavy residue, which is a key requirement for hard surface cleaners and degreasers. Textile and leather processors use it to improve dye penetration. It is also utilized for fiber wetting during scouring and finishing operations. Agricultural formulators incorporate it as an emulsifier and spreader-sticker in various crop protection products. This improves active ingredient coverage on leaf surfaces. In personal care, it supports emulsification in rinse-off formulations where controlled foam and skin compatibility are priorities. Polyethylene glycol trimethylnonyl ether is supplied as a liquid. It is available in technical and industrial grades suited to cleaning, textile, and agrochemical applications. Packaging typically ranges from drums to intermediate bulk containers, reflecting its use in industrial-scale formulation. This ensures efficient handling and storage for large manufacturing facilities. Contact us for supply of Polyethylene glycol trimethylnonyl ether Request Quote
