  • Detergency – an excellent detergent for textile fabrics and nonporous hard surfaces. Its exceptional wetting, dispersing, emulsifying and solubilizing properties enable it to be used alone or in combination with the usual builders.
  • Dispersing – very useful in dispersing and suspending a variety of solids such carbon black, clay, color pigments and soil.
  • Wetting agent – a superior wetting and rewetting agent for general applications like dust settling, corrosion inhibition, metal cleaning and pickling.
