Used in a wide variety of applications to help enhance the detergency, emulsification and wetting properties by its penetrating solvent action. Its properties can be applied in applications where fast effective cleaning actions are required.
When used in combination with other surfactants it helps to improve soil removal and promotes faster rinsing. It is particularly useful in the manufacture of iodophors, rinse aids, detergent sterilisers and glass cleaners.
