| Material Notes | nonionic surfactant mixtures varying in the number of repeating ethoxy (oxy-1,2-ethanediyl) groups. they are used as detergents, emulsifiers, wetting agents, defoaming agents, etc. octoxynol-9, the compound with 9 repeating ethoxy groups, is a spermatocide. Listed in the EAFUS Food Additive Database (Jan. 2001) but with no reported uses Triton X-100 (C14H22O(C2H4O)n) is a nonionic surfactant which has a hydrophilic polyethylene oxide group (on average it has 9.5 ethylene oxide units) and a hydrocarbon lipophilic or hydrophobic group. The hydrocarbon group is a 4-(1,1,3,3-tetramethylbutyl)-phenyl group. (Wikipedia) |
