Nonyl Phenol

EINECS number 284-325-5

///

CAS number 84852-15-3

Nonylphenol is a chemical compound belonging to the family of alkylphenols. It is characterized by having a nonyl (a nine-carbon alkyl) hydrocarbon chain attached to a phenolic ring.

Nonylphenol is produced from the chemical reaction between nonene and phenol. It is mainly a para isomer, phenol, 4-nonyl-, branched.

Nonylphenol is often used as an intermediate chemical in the production of surfactants, emulsifiers, and other chemicals. Surfactants are compounds that lower the surface tension of liquids, making them more effective in applications such as detergents and industrial cleaners. Emulsifiers are used to mix substances that do not naturally combine, like oil and water, and are found in various products, including pesticides and paints.

p-tertiary butyl Phenol

EINECS number 202-679-0

///

CAS number 98-54-4

p-Tertiary butylphenol (p-TBP) is a chemical compound with a specific structure, characterized by the presence of a tertiary butyl group (a branched, four-carbon alkyl group) attached to a phenolic ring. The “p” in its name indicates that the tertiary butyl group is attached to the para position of the phenolic ring, which means it is attached at the fourth carbon atom from the phenolic hydroxyl group.

It is an alkylphenol.

p-Tertiary butylphenol has applications in various industries, including as a chemical intermediate. It can be used in the synthesis of other compounds, including resins, antioxidants, and stabilizers. These derivatives often find use in the production of rubber, plastics, and other materials. Additionally, p-tertiary butylphenol can function as an antioxidant in lubricating oils and fuels to help prevent the degradation of these products due to oxidation.

It’s worth noting that the chemical structure of p-tertiary butylphenol, specifically the presence of the phenolic ring, provides it with antioxidant properties, making it useful for preserving the quality and longevity of various products that are prone to oxidation and degradation.
