3. Core Performance Characteristics

1. Multifunctional Surface Activity: It has excellent emulsifying, dispersing, solubilizing, and coupling properties, and can simultaneously achieve the stability of multi-phase systems and the dispersion of insoluble substances.
2. Excellent Stability: It has stable chemical properties, resistance to acids, alkalis, and electrolytes, and maintains its performance within a wide pH range (3 - 10).
3. Strong Compatibility: It can be compounded with anionic, cationic, and other non-ionic surfactants for use without antagonistic reactions.
4. Good Process Adaptability: Suitable for normal-temperature to medium-high temperature (≤150℃) process scenarios, with excellent thermal stability.

4. Main Application Fields

Based on its HLB value and performance characteristics, Teric N5 is widely used in multiple industrial fields:

1. Chemical Synthesis Field: Used as an organic synthesis intermediate and reaction medium, and as a surfactant in microemulsion systems for the preparation of nanomaterials (e.g., the NP-5/cyclohexane system can be used to prepare 8YSZ nanopowders below 30 nm and Rh/SiO₂ catalysts, etc.).
2. Industrial Additive Field:
   • Emulsifier: Used in the preparation of water-in-oil (W/O) or oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions, suitable for systems such as coatings, inks, and lubricating cutting oils.
   • Dispersant: Improves the dispersion uniformity of pigments and fillers in the system, enhancing product stability.
   • Coupling Agent: Promotes the interface bonding between inorganic and organic materials, optimizing the performance of composite materials.
   • Rust Inhibitor and Antifreeze: Plays dual roles of rust prevention and antifreeze in metalworking fluids and industrial coolants.
3. Other Applications: Used as a leveling agent and detergent in the textile industry; as a degreaser and cleaning agent in the metal processing field; and as an emulsifying aid in the pesticide field to improve the stability of pesticide efficacy.

5. Packaging, Storage, Transportation, and Shelf Life
