Inipol EAP 22 for its

Phosphorus source and surfactant:

in 7-28-89 originally had Tri(laureth-4)-phosphate

[C₁₂H₂₅(OC₂H₄)₃O]₃PO

Another clue that Exxon's Inipol EAP 22

was more a surfactant than 'fertilizer'

And to make sure Inipol EAP 22 was really strong with surfactants & emulsifiers,

added

2-Butoxyethanol   CAS Nr 111-76-2

10-12% of product by weight 

C₆H₁₄O₂/CH₃(CH₂)₂CH₂OCH₂CH₂OH

*

Regarding the lauded use of bioremediation

... in particular

Inipol EAP 22

... It's not much of a fertilizer considering it has a C:N:P ratio of 62:5:1 *


The key:   This was an Exxon product:   per Exxon's MSDS for it 7-28-89 

(Yes, then it was an Exxon product with MSDS produced by Exxon),

 It may really be a "surfactant",

but, by calling it a "fertilizer"

(which technically it could be considered to be),

there would be far greater public acceptance of it being sprayed onto a beach.
