Main applications
Household & industrial detergents: emulsifier, degreasing and wetting agent for kitchen cleaners, hand-wash detergents and heavy-duty formulations.
Emulsification & dispersion: helps form stable oil-in-water systems; used in coatings/paint auxiliaries, emulsion polymerization and agrochemical emulsifiers.
Textile, leather and I&I cleaning: surfactant component for cleaning, antistatic and degreasing agents in textile and leather processing.
Oilfield chemicals: surfactant for EOR, to lower oil/water interfacial tension and improve emulsion stability in drilling fluids.
