Thermo Scientific™ Tergitol™ 15-S-9 is a high-performance nonionic surfactant widely used in laboratory, industrial, and research environments for effective wetting, emulsification, solubilization, and cleaning applications. As an ethoxylated secondary alcohol detergent, Tergitol 15-S-9 provides excellent surface-active properties, making it ideal for formulations requiring reliable detergent action and controlled foaming behavior.
Supplied as a clear to lightly opalescent liquid, this surfactant is commonly used in biochemical workflows, surface preparation, and laboratory cleaning protocols where consistent performance and reproducible results are essential.
Key Features and Benefits
High-Efficiency Nonionic Surfactant
Tergitol™ 15-S-9 is an ethoxylated alcohol-based detergent that offers strong wetting and emulsifying capabilities without ionic interference.
Versatile Laboratory and Industrial Applications
Suitable for use in:
- Laboratory cleaning solutions
- Wetting agents for coatings and surfaces
- Detergent-based biochemical protocols
- Solubilization of hydrophobic compounds
- Emulsification in research formulations
Controlled Physicochemical Properties
Provides consistent surfactant performance with defined pH and cloud point ranges.
Supplied as a Ready-to-Use Liquid
Clear to light opalescent appearance ensures easy handling and formulation.
