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