1. Pesticide Formulations — Used as a nonionic emulsifier for preparing emulsifiable concentrates (EC) of pesticides such as beta-cypermethrin and abamectin, improving emulsion stability, spreading, and penetration capabilities, thereby enhancing efficacy.
2. Textile Industry — Used as a smoothing agent and wetting component in spinning and post-processing of synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon, imparting good smoothness, antistatic properties, and cohesion, reducing breakage and fuzz.
3. Cosmetics Industry — Due to its lipophilic nature, it is specially used in W/O (water-in-oil) creams and lotions, such as cold cream, sunscreen, and skincare lotions, as an emulsifier and emollient, improving skin feel and stability.
4. Leather Processing — As a component of fatliquoring agents, it penetrates between leather fibers, imparting a soft and full hand feel, and improving flexibility and water resistance.
5. Metalworking Fluids — Acts as an emulsifier and lubricating component in emulsified cutting fluids, grinding fluids, and rust-preventive oils, also providing antirust function, suitable for processing and short-term rust prevention of ferrous metals and some non-ferrous metals.
6. Coatings and Inks — Used in solvent-based systems to help wet and disperse organic pigments (such as phthalocyanine blue and azo pigments), reducing system viscosity and improving tinting strength and storage stability.
7. Industrial Hard Surface Cleaning — Exhibits excellent emulsifying and solubilizing capabilities for mineral oil and grease stains in low- or medium-foaming cleaners, suitable for cleaning hard surfaces such as metal and plastic.
| Process Type | Applicability Description |
|---|---|
| W/O (water-in-oil) emulsification system | Specific emulsification, stabilizes emulsion structure |
| O/W (oil-in-water) emulsification system | Also usable for emulsifying mineral oils and animal/vegetable oils and fats |
| Acid-alkali/hard water resistant systems | Maintains high chemical activity under complex water quality and extreme pH conditions |
| Pigment dispersion process | Significantly reduces interfacial tension, prevents pigment precipitation |
