Widely used as a non-ionic surfactant in household and industrial cleaning products due to its excellent detergency and emulsifying properties. It is a key ingredient in laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and hard surface cleaners, helping to remove grease and oil by reducing surface tension. Commonly found in personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, where it acts as a cleaning and foaming agent while being mild on skin. Its ability to solubilize oils without stripping natural moisture makes it suitable for sensitive formulations. Used in agricultural formulations as an adjuvant to improve the spreading and penetration of pesticides and herbicides on plant surfaces. Enhances the effectiveness of active ingredients by promoting uniform coverage and reducing droplet beading. Also employed in textile processing as a scouring and wetting agent, helping to remove natural waxes and impurities from fibers. Supports dyeing and finishing processes by ensuring even wetting and dispersion of dyes. In industrial applications, it serves as an emulsifier in emulsion polymerization and in metalworking fluids to stabilize oil-water mixtures. Its stability across a range of temperatures and pH levels makes it versatile in various process conditions.
