Used primarily as surfactants in various industrial and household cleaning products. They are effective in reducing surface tension, enhancing the wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties of formulations. Commonly found in detergents, dishwashing liquids, and laundry products, where they help to remove grease and dirt from surfaces and fabrics. Also utilized in personal care items like shampoos and body washes for their cleansing and foaming abilities. In industrial applications, they serve as wetting agents in textile processing and as emulsifiers in agricultural formulations. Their biodegradability makes them an environmentally friendly choice in many formulations.
