Used as scouring agent, penetrant, and leveling agent. It provides excellent wetting, penetration, and dispersion properties in fabric pretreatment and dyeing processes, helping to remove impurities and ensure uniform dye uptake, thereby improving fabric quality.
Used for hard surface and metal cleaning. As a surfactant component, it efficiently emulsifies and disperses oil and grease, suitable for cleaning hard surfaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, and industrial metal parts, with characteristics of low foam and easy rinsing.
Used as degreasing agent and fatliquoring emulsifier. It strongly removes natural fats from raw hides and, as an emulsifying carrier for fatliquoring agents, promotes uniform penetration of oils, making the leather soft and plump.
Used as deinking agent and felt cleaning agent. In waste paper deinking, it promotes the separation of ink from fibers and prevents re-deposition; it also effectively cleans papermaking felts, removing adhering resins and impurities, thereby extending felt life.
Used as pigment and filler wetting and dispersing agent. It rapidly wets pigment and filler particles in water-based systems, stabilizes dispersions, prevents flocculation and sedimentation, and improves the storage stability and color performance of coatings and inks.
Used as pesticide emulsifier and tank-mix wetting synergist. It is used in formulating emulsifiable concentrates and oil-in-water emulsions. In tank-mix adjuvants, it reduces the surface tension of the spray solution, enhancing wetting, spreading, and penetration on plant leaves and target surfaces, thus improving efficacy.
Used in cutting fluids and alkaline cleaners. It provides lubrication, cooling, and cleaning in semi-synthetic or fully synthetic cutting fluids. It can also be a component of alkaline cleaners to quickly remove processing oils from metal surfaces, with additional anti-rust effects.
Used as emulsion stabilizer. In emulsion polymerization of monomers such as acrylates and styrene, it serves as a primary or co-emulsifier, providing excellent micellar solubilization and particle size control, resulting in fine and stable polymer emulsions.
