| 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: | • Superior wetting agent • Serve as a penetrant & dispersant • Narrow gel range • Acts as silicone emulsifier |
| 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. |
