Used as a dispersant in water treatment to prevent scale and deposit formation by stabilizing suspended particles and inorganic salts. Commonly applied in cooling water and boiler systems to enhance efficiency and reduce fouling.

Acts as a thickening and rheology-modifying agent in enhanced oil recovery, improving the viscosity of injection fluids to boost oil displacement in reservoirs.

Employed in personal care products such as shampoos and lotions for its water-binding and stabilizing properties, helping maintain product consistency and performance.

Utilized in detergents and cleaning formulations to inhibit soil redeposition and improve suspension of dirt particles in solution.

Functions as a binder or dispersant in ceramic processing and pigment slurries, ensuring uniform dispersion and preventing agglomeration during manufacturing.
