| Application Industry | Specific Process\/Use | Functional Role |
|---|---|---|
| Personal Care | Formulation of creams, lotions, shampoos, and body washes | Emulsifier, solubilizer, superfatting agent |
| Textile Industry | Fiber finishing, weaving processing | Antistatic agent, softener |
| Metalworking Fluids | Formulations of cutting fluids, grinding fluids, etc. | Emulsifier, lubricant |
| Pesticide Formulations | Processing of emulsifiable concentrates (EC), emulsion in water (EW) | Emulsifier, promoting spreading and penetration of the liquid |
| Industrial Cleaning | Formulations of hard surface cleaners | Enhancing detergency and degreasing effects |
| Leather Processing | Fat liquoring process | Component of fat liquoring agent, imparting softness and fullness |
| Paints and Inks | Dispersion of pigments and fillers, system stabilization | Wetting and dispersing agent, improving leveling |
As a nonionic surfactant (CAS: 9004-81-3), LAE-4 mainly assumes three process roles in the above industries: Emulsification — forming stable oil\/water emulsion systems; Solubilization — enhancing the solubility of poorly soluble substances and formulation transparency; Wetting and spreading — rapidly reducing interfacial tension, enhancing wetting effect on substrates. Its resistance to acids, alkalis, and hard water allows it to adapt to various production conditions and water quality environments.
