1. Textile Printing and Dyeing — This is the core application area, used in desizing, scouring, bleaching, dyeing, printing, and finishing processes. It promotes uniform and rapid penetration of dye liquor and auxiliaries into fibers, improving dye uptake and leveling effect.
2. Leather Industry — Applied in soaking, degreasing, tanning, and other stages to accelerate the penetration of chemicals into the leather fibers, shorten processing time, and improve leather softness and fullness.
3. Papermaking Industry — Used in pulp treatment, surface sizing, and coating processes to enhance the penetration and spreading uniformity of sizing agents and coatings on paper, improving paper strength and surface performance.
4. Metal Processing and Surface Treatment — In cleaning, degreasing, pickling, electroplating, and surface pretreatment, it quickly carries the working fluid into the microstructures of the workpiece surface, improving cleaning and treatment efficiency.
5. Pesticide Formulations — Added as a penetration enhancer in emulsifiable concentrates, wettable powders, and aqueous solutions to improve the wetting and penetration ability of the spray liquid on plant leaves and target surfaces.
6. Daily Chemicals — Used in household detergent and cleaner formulations to enhance decontamination penetration power, helping washing components penetrate deep into fibers and dirt.
