Widely used in household and industrial cleaning products due to its strong surfactant properties. It effectively lowers surface tension, allowing for better wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing of oils and dirt. Commonly found in laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, and hard surface cleaners. Also used in enhanced oil recovery processes to improve the flow of crude oil in reservoirs. In laboratories, it serves as a reference standard for analytical testing and quality control in surfactant formulation studies. Its consistent purity makes it reliable for calibration and performance evaluation in various chemical analyses.
