Used as a non-ionic surfactant in various industrial and consumer product applications. It functions effectively as an emulsifier, helping to stabilize mixtures of oil and water in formulations such as agrochemicals, coatings, and cleaning agents. Its polyether chain provides good solubility in water and compatibility with other ingredients, making it suitable for use in low-foaming detergents and emulsion polymerization processes. The compound also enhances wetting and dispersing properties, which is beneficial in textile processing and pesticide formulations where uniform distribution is critical. Due to its moderate hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB), it performs well in systems requiring stable emulsions without excessive foaming.
