Widely used in cleaning products, this chemical acts as a foam booster and stabilizer in liquid soaps, shampoos, and dishwashing detergents. It enhances the cleaning efficiency of surfactants, allowing them to work better in hard water. It also serves as a viscosity builder, helping to thicken formulations without the need for additional thickeners. Due to its emulsifying properties, it is effective in personal care products to blend oil and water-based ingredients. It is commonly found in industrial and household cleaners where stable foam and improved detergency are required.
