Widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as an emulsifying and solubilizing agent, particularly in liquid formulations and topical products. Enhances the dispersion of active ingredients in creams, lotions, and ointments, improving product stability and skin absorption. Commonly found in dermatological preparations due to its mild surfactant properties and low irritation potential. Also utilized in agrochemical formulations to improve the spreading and wetting of pesticides on plant surfaces. Acts as a wetting agent in industrial cleaning products and textile processing, where it helps reduce surface tension and promotes even distribution of solutions. Its biodegradability makes it suitable for applications requiring environmentally friendly surfactants.
