    • Incorporated in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spreading and adhesion on plant surfaces.
    • Facilitates better penetration of active ingredients.
  • Metalworking Fluids:
    • Functions as a dispersant and lubricant in metalworking fluids.
    • Improves emulsification in oil-water systems, enhancing cooling and lubrication.
  • Paints and Coatings:
    • Stabilizes emulsions in paints, varnishes, and coatings.
    • Reduces surface tension for uniform application and improved flow.

Personal Care and Cosmetics

  • Shampoos and Conditioners:
    • Acts as an emulsifier to ensure uniform distribution of ingredients.
  • Lotions and Creams:
    • Stabilizes emulsions and improves product texture.

Laboratory and Research

  • Analytical Chemistry:
    • Used in chromatography and other analytical techniques requiring surfactants.
  • Emulsion Polymerization:
    • Functions as an emulsifying agent in the synthesis of latex and polymers.

Environmental Applications

  • Oil Spill Dispersants:
    • Acts as a surfactant in formulations to break oil into smaller droplets for easier degradation.
  • Cleaning Solutions:
    • Used in industrial and household cleaning agents to enhance the solubilization of oily and greasy soils.

Food and Pharmaceutical Applications

  • Pharmaceutical Formulations:
    • Used as an excipient for emulsification and dispersion in drug formulations.
  • Food Additive:
    • May be used in certain food-grade applications where surfactants are required (ensure food-grade certification).

Key Benefits in Applications:

  • Reduces surface tension, promoting better wetting, spreading, and emulsification.
  • High stability across a range of temperatures and pH levels.
  • Suitable for use in water and oil-based systems.

Storage Guidelines

  • Storage Conditions:
    • Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
    • Avoid exposure to direct sunlight, heat, or open flames.
    • Keep the storage temperature between 15°C and 30°C (59°F to 86°F) to maintain product stability.
  • Container Requirements:
    • Use tightly sealed, chemical-resistant containers to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.
    • Ensure containers are properly labeled with product and hazard information.
  • Segregation:
    • Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and acids to avoid potential reactions.
    • Store separately from food, beverages, and incompatible materials.

Handling Guidelines

  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
    • Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and appropriate protective clothing to minimize contact.
    • Use a respirator if handling large quantities in poorly ventilated areas.
  • Work Area:
    • Handle in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to prevent inhalation of fumes or vapors.
    • Avoid creating dust or aerosols during handling.
  • Safe Handling Practices:
    • Avoid direct contact with the skin, eyes, or clothing.
    • Do not eat, drink, or smoke while handling the product.
    • Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
  • Spill Response:
    • For small spills, use inert absorbent materials such as sand, vermiculite, or paper towels.
    • For larger spills, ventilate the area, contain the spill, and follow your organization’s spill response protocol.
