Used as a non-ionic surfactant in industrial and household cleaning formulations due to its excellent emulsifying and wetting properties. Enhances solubility of oils and greases in water-based systems, making it effective in detergents, degreasers, and metal cleaning agents. Also serves as a building block in the synthesis of polyurethanes and coatings, where it contributes to improved flexibility and durability. Its multi-branched structure allows for high reactivity in alkoxylation processes, enabling customization for specific performance needs in agrochemicals, textiles, and personal care products.
