Application Areas
Daily chemical industry: Used as the main component of cleaning agents, wetting agents, and emulsifiers. It has anti-rust properties and is an important raw material for formulating metal cleaning agents. When used in combination with anionic surfactants, it stabilizes foam. When used with soap, it improves resistance to hard water. It can also be used as a component of synthetic fiber oils such as polypropylene.

Packaging Method
Bagged

Stability and Storage Conditions
Store in a sealed container to minimize contact with air. Avoid excessively high or low temperatures; it is best stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place.
