Triton X-200 is widely used as a surfactant in various industrial and laboratory applications. It is particularly effective in emulsifying and stabilizing mixtures, making it valuable in the formulation of cleaning products, detergents, and personal care items like shampoos and soaps. In the pharmaceutical industry, it aids in the solubilization of active ingredients, enhancing drug delivery systems. Additionally, Triton X-200 is utilized in biological research for cell lysis and membrane protein extraction due to its ability to disrupt lipid bilayers. Its wetting and dispersing properties also make it suitable for use in coatings, paints, and agricultural formulations.
