Description

• General description: TERGITOL™ TMN 6 is a low-cost and easily available biodegradable nonionic surfactant. The hydrophobic part[1] of this low-toxic surfactant[2] is made up of alkyl groups and its hydrophilic part is composed of chains of oxyethylene molecules.[1] This amphiphilic surfactant[3] is soluble in water and polar organic solvents.[2]
• Application: TERGITOL™ TMN 6 is suitable for use:in the slurry after ball milling to improve its wetting behavior to prepare alumina sheets[3]in the cloud point extraction process to extract organic compounds like natural estrogens E1 and E2 from urine samples[1]as an emulsifier in the optimization of the ultrasound-assisted surfactant-enhanced emulsification microextraction (UASEME) procedure to promote the extraction of benzimidazole anthelmintics[4]in the preparation of blood mimicking fluid (BMF) mixture[5]
• Biochem/physiol Actions: TERGITOL™ TMN 6 can be used as a synergistic cloud point extraction (SCPE) extractant.[2] It is suitable for use in foam control, chemical mechanical planarization slurry, waterborne emulsion synthesis, and leveling.
• Features and Benefits: Superior wetting agent Serve as a penetrant & dispersant Narrow gel range Acts as silicone emulsifier
