What is Nonylphenol CAS 25154-52-3?
Nonylphenol CAS 25154-52-3 is a clear, straw-colored viscous liquid organic compound belonging to the alkylphenol family. It is typically produced as a mixture of isomeric monoalkyl phenols, with predominant para-substituted isomers, and has a characteristic phenolic odor. Its structure provides hydrophobic alkyl chains and a reactive phenolic group, making it suitable as an intermediate in the production of surfactants, antioxidants, stabilizers, and polymer additives.
