Used as a non-ionic surfactant in industrial and laboratory applications due to its ability to reduce surface tension. Its multi-ether structure provides good solubility in both polar and non-polar media, making it effective in emulsion stabilization, especially in water-oil systems. Commonly applied in the formulation of cleaning agents, detergents, and emulsifiers for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. Also serves as a phase transfer agent and solvent modifier in chemical synthesis, enhancing reaction efficiency in multi-phase systems. Its long alkoxy chain contributes to low volatility and improved thermal stability, suitable for use in coatings and specialty formulations requiring durable surfactant performance.
