Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), alpha-(4-nonylphenyl)-omega-hydroxy-, branched is a surfactant and emulsifying agent. It is used as a non-ionic surface-active agent and as a dispersing agent in cosmetics.
Tergitol has been used in a study to assess the structural characterization and antimicrobial properties of silver nanoparticles. It has also been used in a study to investigate the detection of Salmonella enterica serotype enteritidis in naturally contaminated environmental samples from integrated poultry houses.
ChEBI: Poly(ether) macoromolecule comprising a branched nonyl group bonded to one of the ring positions in 2-[phenoxypoly(ethoxy)]ethanol. A commericially available detergent, it is used to help crystallise proteins and extract the cytoplasmic contents of cellula
culture.
Tergitol is a nonionic surfactant which can be used to extract estrogens.
Poly(oxy-1,2-ethanediyl), alpha-(4-nonylphenyl)-omega-hydroxy-, branched is a reproductive hazard.
Experimental reproductiveeffects. When heated to decomposition it emits acridsmoke and irritating vapors.
