4-tert-Octylphenol is a chemical compound from the group of alkylphenols .
In the 1990s, over 500,000 tons of alkylphenol ethoxylates were produced annually worldwide.

4-tert-octylphenol is a component of phenolic resins and is also a starting material for the manufacture of polymers and a group of surfactants, the octylphenol ethoxylated.

4-tert-octylphenol is a useful research chemical.
4-tert-octylphenol belongs to the alkyl phenols.

The best-known chemical of the group is nonylphenol.
4-tert-Octylphenol is an alkylbenzene.

Octylphenols are a group of compounds that differ according to their chemical characteristics.
Among them, 4-tert-octylphenol (or 4tOP) (CAS: 140-66-9) is the most commercially available isomer and the one most found in octylphenol mixtures.

Between 10,000 and 100,000 tonnes of 4-tert-Octylphenol are produced each year in the European Union.
4-tert-Octylphenol was measured in different units for some of the studies.

4-tert-Octylphenol belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylpropanes.
These are organic compounds containing a phenylpropane moiety.

Of all octyphenol ethoxylates, the 4-tert-Octylphenol compounds are commercially most important.
Accordingly, their degradation products – e.g., the branched 4-tert-Octylphenol and the linear 4-n-octylphenol - are the dominant octylphenols found in the environment.
