Widely used in household and industrial cleaning products due to its strong surfactant properties. It effectively lowers surface tension, allowing for better wetting and removal of dirt and grease. Commonly found in laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and hard surface cleaners. Also used in personal care products like shampoos and toothpastes for its foaming action. In industrial applications, it serves as a dispersing agent and emulsifier in pesticide formulations and textile processing. Its stability in hard water and across a range of pH levels makes it a preferred choice in many cleaning formulations.
