Description
GENOME SPECIALITIES is a leading supplier of NP 6, a powerful nonionic surfactant.
Although similar to NP 9, it features a lower average of 6 moles of ethylene oxide (EO) on the nonylphenol molecule. In turn, this structural shift makes it more lipophilic (oil-loving) and less hydrophilic (water-loving) than its counterpart.
Source premium NP 6 surfactant from GENOME SPECIALITIES. Featuring a low HLB (~11), this oil-soluble emulsifier excels in degreasers, metalworking & coatings
This gives NP 6 distinct technical properties and applications.
Our strict quality control ensures that GENOME SPECIALITIES FZC NP-6 meets the highest industry standards for consistency, purity, and active content

Uses Of Np 6
Genome Specialities excels in formulations where oil-coupling, pigment dispersion, and grease liquefaction are critical due to its low HLB value.
Emulsifier:
It’s an excellent emulsifier for mineral oils, petroleum, and other aliphatic hydrocarbons.
It acts as a vital coupling agent to bridge water-based detergent systems into hydrocarbon environments
Industrial Cleaners and Degreasers:
NP 6 is used in formulations for heavy-duty industrial cleaners and degreasers, where its ability to emulsify and lift stubborn oils and greases is highly valued.
Agrochemicals:
It functions as an emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide formulations to ensure the active ingredients are properly dispersed and can effectively penetrate the target.
Metalworking Fluids:
Used as a component in cutting fluids and lubricants to stabilize emulsions and provide cleaning and anti-corrosive properties.
Textile Processing:
Employed as a wetting agent, emulsifier, and dispersant in textile auxiliaries.
Paints and Coatings:
Helps in dispersing pigments and stabilizing water-based paint systems.
Genome Specialities is a trusted chemical distributor and guarantees high active content ,minimal moisture and reliable bulk supply chain for all your surfactant needs.
